I was interviewed recently for a ‘Kinaxis Quick Take’, which are video perspectives posted on the Supply Chain Expert Community. I was asked about Supplier Collaboration.
Here is what I was asked…
- What strategies do you see being adopted by both Brand Owners and Suppliers with regard to their relationship?
- What are some of the challenges of Supplier Collaboration?
- Why not continue with the “old” way of doing business?
- What are some of the specific issues/actions that Supplier Collaboration processes will address?
What would you have said?
