Encountering obstacles in reaching your supply chain objectives? Creating a strategic plan to optimize your supply chain can be challenging. In a recent episode of the Never-Ending Climb, expert supply chain strategist Richard Brattle explores the key questions organizations frequently face. One prevalent issue is articulating the future direction of the business. Many organizations find it difficult to outline their growth plans beyond the next 6 to 12 months. Early discussions are vital, asking questions like 'Where do you want to be?' and 'What pain points are you facing?' Developing an effective supply chain strategy involves envisioning the future, integrating E.S.G. elements, setting cost reduction targets (5%, 10%, 20%?), and, most importantly, understanding the 'why' behind these goals. So, where does your organization aim to be, and what defines an effective supply chain for your future? 🌐 #SupplyChainStrategy #SAPProcurement #StrategicProcurement

Let’s prioritize Strategy! ♟️🧠🛡️ Some industries still establish Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) based on operations. 💣💣 Building robust and solid strategic foundations is essential for maintaining control over inventory, operational costs, lead times, quality levels, and ensuring an outstanding customer service experience with impressive metrics.

There must be a balance between strategy and day to day operation, while it’s true a long term strategy is of the essence, also day to day operability is important. Urgency and needs due to your customers base will never stop. Just make sure urgencies are not due to lack of connectivity in your processes.
