Sales & Operations Planning: Jump-Start the Upturn by Jumping the Hurdles to S&OP
Analyst Insight: Not sensing the upturn in the economy is almost as bad as being hit with the downturn. Value chains have slashed inventories in their effort to remain cash-positive. Some are already scrambling as their sales pick up but their inventory coffers are empty. It's not surprising that sales and operations planning initiatives have grown in importance.
Supplier Relationship Management: These Ties Are Critical to Value Chain Success
Analyst Insight: While traditional supply chain processes focus on efficient transactions, value chain networks are built on effective relationships. The difference is not trivial, challenging deep-seated traditional supply chain paradigms. With 70 percent to 80 percent of a product's components sourced externally vs. made in house, supplier relationship management is critical to value chain success.
Sourcing & Procurement Solutions: Being a Leader Means Taking Costs Out
Analyst Insight: The number one strategy for sourcing and procurement executives is taking costs out. But that requires an enterprise view of procurement and sourcing resources, including spend, business process, supplier contracts, organizational structure, and employees. Leading organizations have accelerated their strategic cost-reduction activities to ensure immediate sourcing and procurement ROI.
Customs Issues and Reshaping the Supply Chain
Product Lifecycle Management: The Increasing Dynamic Between Product Design and Strategic Sourcing
Analyst Insight: Product and engineering design focuses more on the technical feasibility of a product, and strategic sourcing works more on the commercial feasibility of materials of the same product. The two together are what product development is about. Product lifecycle management (PLM) comprises the management approach and the technology used to increase the dynamic between the two feasibilities.
Quality & Metrics: A Metrics Culture Drives Better Performance
Analyst Insight: Leading companies have a portfolio of true end-to-end supply chain metrics, use those metrics in key processes such as S&OP, supplement the metrics with customer and supplier dashboards, and have an open attitude and metrics culture that drives them through an upward spiral of increasingly higher levels of performance. Most importantly: they understand they cannot be good at everything, and they consciously manage tradeoffs.
Sourcing & Procurement: Plenty of Procurement Programs, But Which Is Right for You?
Analyst Insight: Before investing in new programs for procurement or other functional areas, organizations must evaluate each program thoroughly as implementation can be a time-consuming and expensive process. However, in many cases the long-term benefits may compensate for the short-term pain.
