Different
product profiles and changing customer demands require
different approaches to physical distribution.
Increasingly, the supply chain can provide a competitive
commercial advantage to companies. Companies must
continually assess their distribution network and
determine the capabilities of affiliates and partners to
ensure product supply while meeting customers ever
changing needs. This presentation addressed
how Bristol-Myers Squibb has confronted this issue.

While
the concept of supply chain collaboration has been
around for a while, many organizations have
had difficulty cultivating the the benefits that have
been promised. But, given today's tightening
carrier capacity, high fuel costs, port congestion,
driver shortages, security issues, etc., more trading
partners are taking real steps towards serious supply
chain collaboration and finally seeing the benefits.
Joel
Sutherland
provided
an overview of the transportation industry and addresses
specific opportunities for collaboration. Starting
with his first taste of "real" collaboration
from his experience at Denso, Toyota Group's giant auto
parts manufacturer, Joel will provide real-world
examples of successful collaboration, and describe how
you can overcome the obstacles so many supply chains
experience when attempting to collaborate. |
