Supply Chain Digest recently reviewed Kate Vitadek & J. Paul Dittman’s full report on “Supply Chain Game Changers: A Practitioner’s Guide for Driving Competitive Advantage within Your Supply Chain”. After reviewing the top ten list, I’m not sure if they are “game changers” or “business as usual” because I don’t see the difference between this list and a list of the top ten issues that have been facing modern supply chains for the last few years.
In brief, the list is:
- The Mandate for Measurement
- Supply Chain Collaboration
- Lean/Six Sigma Applied to the Supply Chain
- Managing Complexity
- Supply Chain Technology
- Network Optimization
- Global Supply Chain Implications
- Sustainability
- Risk Management
- Managing Out Costs and Working Capital
So, what do you think? Game changers? Day to Day Issues? or Both?
