Supply Chain Advantage is the balancing art of product placement to meet customer demand profitably. It involves achieving balance of several key elements at several levels. Some examples of these trade-offs are - cost to serve vs. service level requirements, inventory holdings vs. spare production capacity, more frequent shipments vs. higher target inventories, trucks vs. rail, full trucks vs. full shelves. Each one of these trade-offs has profound impact on business outcomes. Supply Chain Advantage achieves optimum trade-offs to maximise profit. |
