Supply-chain Management

John Garside

Chapter 5 in Plan to Win, 1998, pp 137-168 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Fundamental to achieving demanding business performance objectives is having an effective supply-chain, designed to be competitive in international markets. To be commercially successful, a strong customer and product base has to be developed and continually enhanced, which results in the need for an inherently flexible manufacturing system that can be readily adapted to satisfy customers’ requirements. Good businesses have well-developed formal and informal two-way communication systems, and everybody in the organisation fully understands the goals and challenges facing the business. This is supported by senior management making time to ‘walk the factory’, and obtain comments directly from the workforce.
