if he’s heading the Supply Chain function?
(Following the part 1)
𝑾𝒉𝒚 the candidate could still fail?
A. Supply chain is a practical function. To achieve results as expected by ‘the directors’, high-level concepts the candidate might have, may not necessarily help operationalise the expectations;
B. Supply Chain has a shallow presentation in disguise generally. Very often, good experience from a previous career journey, may not be applied to the current business model as effectively.
C. Within the Supply Chain spectrum, there are approximately 10 sub-areas. 60% of the success in achieving the expected results lies in sorting out the detailed operations. High-level concepts could be impotent in many business contexts.
D. Supply chain's smoothness and effectiveness directly impact the fulfilling of customers' orders or projects. The situations of large orders can swing widely from day to day.
Short of agile and solid supply chain management could result in the failure to fulfil the commitment, leading to loss of profits and penalties, also loss of credibility, market setbacks, and impeding long-term business development.
1/3 of Australian companies (37% of manufacturing and production businesses) are planning on staff cutbacks around Xmas time (as below).
Under such a tough situation, it's an even sharper expectation to achieve lean and effective supply chain/operations, which is a big area that could have massive running money leakage over time. The operations inefficiency affects overall intrinsic business health in the long run, if left unfixed.
💔 I knew some great senior supply chain leaders had to move on after a short period from getting the role.
💔 Also, some companies had to try one after another aiming to spot that one competent senior supply chain manager, at the big cost of time, money, recruiting effort and that from the unsolved supply chain issues.
🔆 For the negative scenarios, we render ourselves to support the senior managers to translate good visions into implementable, effective actions, stemming from scientific approaches and the underlying logic both in supply chain and business management.
We help close off the gaps and stretch the unnecessarily complex processes.
With supply chain improvement projects, we work together with the senior managers and the teams to achieve excellent results that last.
☄️ We are releasing a 𝟏𝟎𝐊-𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 for companies/senior leaders to try us on, worry-free.
Pls stay close by.
Will share details soon. 🤝
