Supply chain strategy

Why have a strategy?

• Companies who develop and follow strategies perform better than their counterparts who focus only on achieving annual financial targets set in their budgets.

• However, having a strategy which is capable of fulfillment is rare. Only 40% of senior logistic professionals have a long term "roadmap" to guide their decision-making and help them to deliver the strategy.

• The creation of an effective supply chain strategy can help identify untapped sources of competitive advantage. Furthermore, by developing a strategy and realistic implementation plan, companies are more likely to achieve their medium to long term goals.

• Although we traditionally think of competition as being between products or companies, there is compelling evidence to suggest that in the near future, it will be between supply chains.
