Supply Chain Survey

Just like any profession, there will be the excellent, the good, the average, below average and down the hill, the bad.

Many managers and company chief executive knew and realize that an above average supply chain system is needed for organization to developed. How often we heard the moan from a sales professional about losing business not due to cost but poor execution of supply chain strategies?

As a person who have worked in this industry for years, I personally have to turn away good marketer (sales professional) who present good presentation on their organization profile and able to do attitude just because of one key reason.

DELIVERY NOT ON TIME.

Organizations world wide need to realize that expanding sales figures and increasing profit are short term gain if not supported with a supply chain pillar which will able to plan and delivered the orders on time to the customer and without any quality issue.

However, we should not think that organization will also will survive with higher cost and higher profit margin with excellent supply chain pillars. Cost will be extremely important and non negotiable in most cases unless your product fall under the Blue Ocean competition category.

But there are competitors out there who can deliver in shorter lead time, with similar quality and same cost compare to your organization and if your support is poor, you will lose out.

What do you personally think of your organization supply chain management? What you wish to have? Which you wish you not having now? What type of leadership you wish your organization have on this area?

The no right or wrong answers to all our problem and what ever we implement, the stake holders have to realize that it all boiled down to the human mind and human behavior. Unhappy employees, no matter how good a system you plan for will not work.
