The old thinking is that if a company had control within its “four walls,” operations were smooth, costs were controlled, and customers were happy. Brick by brick these walls came down - due to numerous external factors that extended the impact on the business and the impact of internal decisions. Now, increased competition, global markets, rapidly changing customer demands and world economical factors have activated a wrecking ball of external business forces.
Companies who focus all of their attention only within their now imaginary walls are wondering why they are having capacity issues, inventory surplus, transportation problems, difficulty with aftermarket sales and more. The reason is that value chains are now made up of large networks, and the focus has to extend to all contributors in that value chain regarding not only the physical flow of materials, but the virtual flow of information.
Customer value is the product of the cumulative effort of the multitude of players within the supply chain. Every weak link in that chain diminishes customer value.
The most successful global companies today construct business strategies that include all members of the supply chain throughout the entire product lifecycle – from choosing suppliers to aftermarket services as well as optimizing their suppliers' performance for increased quality and efficiency.
