Key Chain: Supply Chain Collaboration at HP
Overview This paper describes how Hewlett-Packard’s program for supply chain collaboration, known as Key Chain, realized more than $113 million in savings in its first two years, with cumulative savings targeting $445 million over a planned four year program. One factor in these savings is a reduction in sourcing costs, averaging around 10%, which directly cuts material costs. Similarly, future contracts savings have been negotiated that generate additional savings. Also, by disposing of excess inventory HP now averages around ninety cents on the dollar, which is triple the old recovery rate for end-of-life and spare parts in the past.
