Supply chains have shifted toward the customer… Traditional View “Push” Customer-Driven View “Pull” Mfgr. Manufacturer Supplier Customer Distributor Distributor Customer “Chain” “Long and slow” “Forecast-based” “Manufacturer-driven” “Designed from product forward” “Cost-reduction” “Network” “Fast and flexible” “Demand-based” “Consumer-driven” “Designed from shelf back” “Value and growth creation”
Implications for our business… • Redefinition of inventory policy and manufacturing capability around customer and demand • Resources aligned to pull – not make-to-stock and buffer systems. • Customer-purchase triggers real-time information movement throughout the supply network • Move forecasts from monthly to weekly to daily to sub-daily
Implications for our business… • Collaborative business planning with customers • Collaboration on “events”, key merchandising activities and initiatives • Manufacturing flexibility and cycle response to produce-to-demand vs. produce-to-forecast • Supplier relationships move from “connected” to “integrated” based on demand
