Description
Creating a global supply chain that is equipped to thrive in a world of rising complexity and uncertainty involves more than reconfiguring operational assets and making long-term strategic bets about production and supply related risks. Significant organizational challenges are involved too, as the decisions and activities of a company's supply chain group influence (and are influenced by) the sales team, marketers and product developers, among others. The result is a host of thorny trade offs. Should a company, say, move a product to a low-cost manufacturing facility to save money if that means lengthening delivery times? What if trimming the company's product portfolio to reduce manufacturing complexity and costs could stifle marketing efforts to reach new customers? When do the benefits of improved customer service warrant the additional operating expenses required to deliver it? Supply chain, sales and marketing managers invariably view such trade offs through the lens of their own responsibilities - and this perspective often leads to disagreements or misunderstandings. Ineffective collaboration has long been a supply chain sore spot, but its costs are set to rise drastically. Finding mechanisms to solve these and other difficult supply chain questions will require hands on attention from the CEO and other company leaders. The process begins when executives work together to identify areas in which better information sharing and teamwork will generate the most impact. Let's look, then, at three of the biggest collaboration tensions we routinely observe.
