Asset Management White Papers
Continuous and Sustainable Improvement Through Supply Chain Management
Overview
Companies in many industries are grappling with problems across their supply chains. The issues at stake
are in all aspects of their supply chains – procurement, manufacturing, distribution, logistics, design, finance, and so on. Like the proverbial Dutch boy who saved Holland by plugging the hole in a dike, some managers may be tempted to fix supply chain problems by applying a simple, myopic solution. However, experienced managers know that supply chains seldom
have a single hole to plug and that obvious fixes often have longer-term, unintended consequences.
Leading companies adaptively manage their supply chain performance by focusing on two important dimensions. This paper will discuss those decisions, the pitfalls of supply chain management and how to approach fixing them.
