Supply Chain Governance

   Favorites Favorites
Business models around the world are changing dramatically from “Source Local” to “Source Anywhere and Build Anywhere” model. Firms have shifted away from a hierarchical, one-dimensional supply chain entity to a fragmented network in favor of strategic partnerships with external entities. Many businesses facing such model are experiencing challenges and are struggling to compete in this new landscape. Supply Chain Governance can help organizations to streamline and manage their supplier quality and supplier performance. In addition, it enables organizations to identify, mitigate and manage supplier risks for key procurement and manufacturing process.

Integrated supply chains are becoming an integral part of the competitive landscape as firms seek to create strategic advantages. Along with the economic benefits derived from these more coordinated supply chains come certain social obligations. Many firms are developing codes of conduct as a way of managing a number of partner behaviors within the supply chain. Supply chain models have gone from the stage of integration to disintegration and finally are reintegrating through adoption of Supply Chain Governance.
