Transition from Vertical Integration to Global Partnership Models
February 25, 2008
Aerospace and defense companies are finding themselves in a whole new world right now, with the pressing need to give up control of significant portions of their supply chain; the suppliers of yesterday are partners today. This loss of control is causing short-term disruptions and challenges but will be helpful in the long run. The need of the hour is the ability to have real-time visibility into supply chain risks and reduction of lead times.
