- Market Overview & Analysis
| Part 2
As supply chains broaden to include more partners
and customers, and the pressure to cut costs keeps
growing, we ask supply chain managers how well technology
is supporting them. Cliff Mills reports.
- Expert Opinion
Don’t treat inventory as a necessary evil, start managing
it for the benefit of the business, says Richard Wale
of The Consultancy Company.
- View from the Top
| Part 2
Any bad apples at Chingford Fruit are now being spotted
by its supply chain system. We speak to finance director
Simon Gretton.
- Balancing Act
| Part 2
As well as juggling supply and demand, managers need
to keep on top of technology trends like SaaS and
RFID. James Cockroft of Xantus helps out.
- Weathering the Storm
| Part 2
Martin Williams of Bisham Consulting highlights what
supply chain managers can do to survive the recession.
- In This Together
| Part 2
Organisations within supply chains need to develop
new ways of cooperating that reduce overall cost,
lead time and inventory, says Jason Barclay of Picme.
|
- A New Dimension?
| Part 2
Tim Lawrence of PA Consulting looks at a new approach
to supply chain management – customer-driven supply
(CDS) – and asks whether it is just talk or offers
a real competitive edge.
- BRIC Building
| Part 2
The so-called ‘BRIC’ countries are not just a source
of low-cost manufacturing, their multinationals may
reshape the current business landscape, writes Nick
Gill of Capgemini.
- Think Now, Save Later
| Part 2
Knowing RFID can help your business, and understanding
how it will do so, are two very different things,
warns Gideon Hillman of Hillman Consulting.
- Leaning Towards Innovation
| Part 2
Organisations are under pressure to innovate more
and get their products to market quicker. The benefit,
says Nigel Issa of Atos Consulting, is that companies
who invest in innovation perform better than those
who don’t.
