Supply Chain is another of those terms that consultants
dream up to feel important and stay in business. But behind the hype
lies the reality that new technologies have opened up new opportunities
for easily collaborating with your customers and vendors. (Which, in the
end, is what all the Supply Chain hype is about.)
There is a whole industry of consultants and software vendors who will
sell and implement "Supply Chain" solutions. In general,
these solutions are not appropriate for the mid-sized manufacturers that
make up Carr Enterprises' customer base.
Where the concept of Supply Chain hits our customers is when they
become part of their customer's supply chain and are asked (forced?) to share data
and accept orders electronically. Typically this sharing takes the form of EDI or
Web-Based E-Commerce Transactions.
Carr Enterprises can help you understand how your customer's
Supply Chain practices will impact your business, and how you can change
your business practices to better server your customer's requirements.
We can also show you Practical Supply Chain Management
methods that work in smaller companies.
