Your supply chains need constant review and adjustment. Your competition isn’t standing still!

If your competition isn’t eating your lunch today, they will be tomorrow! If you are not servicing your customers’ needs somebody else will be! You need to make sure that you have what your customer needs when he needs it or someone else will get that order. Managing your supply chains can help to reduce your risk, improve your performance, and even help to control your costs

Are you tuned to your customer’s needs?

If you look carefully at your customer base, you are likely to find that you can categorize them based upon what’s important to them.  For one group, the priority might be reliability, for another, flexibility.  Others may be focused on the lowest cost, etc.  For each group, you want to organize your supply chain to best match those priorities.  This means that you will need to manage different supply chains for each group.

Do you measure your performance?

Suppose a particular supply chain’s primary focus is reliability.  What is the percentage of orders that shipped complete?  What is the percentage of orders that shipped on time?  What is the percentage of orders that shipped in perfect condition?  What should the numbers be?

Are you keeping pace?

How does your performance measure up to the competition?  When was the last time you checked?

Are you equipped to respond to changes outside your business (whether natural or manmade)?

Is your customer planning a change in his ordering patterns?  Are your suppliers equipped to handle increased demand?  How would your performance change if a natural disaster wiped out your supplier?  What would be the impact of sharp increases in fuel prices?

What are you doing to get better?

Can you strengthen your relationships with your partners (customers & suppliers)?  Can you trace your chains from the origins of all components all the way to the ultimate customer?  Do you understand where your chains are at risk and have you implemented a plan to mitigate that risk
