Tedarik Zinciri Yönetimi için 3 İpucu: Ölçeklendirme

Right now, manufacturers are more aware of their supply chains than ever before. That awareness has raised many questions about how to improve efficiency and resiliency. I’ve spent nearly three decades as a distribution and supply chain professional so I understand the challenges of balancing supply continuity with customer demand. Supply chain managers are navigating increased complexity as COVID-19 has exposed vulnerabilities in even the most secure supply chains. Knowing how to simplify complex areas and stabilize weak links will allow you to scale up or down quickly as demand evolves. Below are some evergreen tips to parça yönetiminizi kolaylaştırın for a stronger, more resilient supply chain.

Parça Yönetimini Kolaylaştırmak için 3 İpucu

Temel çıkarımlar: Pandemiden bağımsız olarak gelecekteki talebi yönetmek için gerekli teknolojiyle desteklenen, tedarik hatlarında görünürlük ve güvenliğe sahip bir tedarikçi arayın.

1. Standart Parçalar İçin Tek Kaynak Bulun

Standart parçalar için tek bir kaynakla seçim yapmak, tedarik zinciri karmaşıklığını azaltmaya yönelik sağlam bir ilk adımdır. İdeal olarak birden fazla bölgede sıkı bir şekilde yönetilen iş ortakları ile ihtiyaçlarınızı karşılamak için ölçeği büyütecek veya küçültecek kadar deneyimli bir iş ortağı arayın.

2. Hız ve Erişilebilirliği Seçin

Once you’ve consolidated your supplier network, make sure that everyone who’s staying onboard has the resources (technology, people, and financial stability) to meet your output as you scale up. Your supply chain partner should be highly-dependable, highly-accessible, and focused on your needs. They should be able to deliver on the promise of fast, easy ordering for your most commonly-used parts. Whether it’s a face mask or a hockey puck, having confidence your partner can deliver is a bedrock quality. (And yes, we’ve met emergency calls for hockey pucks. It happens.) That’s what partners do.

3. Gerçek Zamanlı Veri Talep Edin

Along with consolidating your suppliers and vetting them for speed and reliability, ask them how they can support you with real-time visibility into your supply chain. Real-time production and shipment visibility can help you be proactive about gaps or potential disruptions to your supply chain–both critical to scaling up. Knowing where your parts are, what you’re running low on, and what you’re overstocked on will help you streamline your parts management and avoid costly disruptions to your supply chain.

Even the most responsive, customer-focused partner can be vulnerable to outside forces. Sadly, I’ve seen many suppliers go out of business since the pandemic started. The last thing you need is to develop a relationship with a supplier only to see them out of business when the market takes a sharp left turn. Look for a partner with kanıtlanmış finansal istikrar bu sadece yanınızdaki fırtınayı atlatmakla kalmaz, aynı zamanda işler zorlaştığında ilerlemenize yardımcı olur.
