Cooperation: a better road to supply chain
What is supply chain collaboration, really? It is what happenswhen two or more discrete organisations work closely together to meet sharedobjectives. These objectives are typically focused on cost reduction, customerservice improvement, or raising specific aspects of supply chain performance.For instance: a retailer might collaborate with a wholesaler or manufacturerfrom which it purchases goods, a manufacturer might collaborate with a rawmaterials supplier to add value for its end-customers, etc. As more organisationsrecognise the need to collaborate, a whole new culture is evolving. This is whycollaboration has become such a familiar buzzword in the supply chain world.But true collaboration is not an easy state to arrive at. Boundaries of mistrustmust be broken down and conflicting objectives must somehow be transformedinto aligned goals. This workshop will expose you to an array of tools and so-lution concepts that can be implemented to achieve stability in collaborationsand nurture a cooperative culture amongst the firms in a supply chain.
