Eliminating Data Gaps with Connected Supply Chains
Managing lab reports, supplier emails, and test data across too many systems? Watch how leading brands are fixing broken workflows and closing data gaps with connected supply chain tools.
The value of a “Materials-First” philosophy resides in the certainty that the materials flowing through a supply chain exhibit an acceptable level of risk before the rest of the company is dependent on them. Doing so has been proven to minimize The Risk of Being Reactive.
Materials-First is all about engineering quality and compliance into your raw materials before they are adopted into your product line. It is, however, easier said than done. It takes organizational discipline with steadfast, top-down managerial commitment combined with an efficient process that must deliver operational excellence.
The challenge is that our industry is plagued with the seemingly incompatible balance between ‘shorter lead times with lower costs’ and ‘maximizing innovation while maintaining quality’. Not to mention the drive for design creativity that is often at odds with the realities of a continually changing supply chain!
Is it easy? No.
Is it worth it? Absolutely. Just ask our customers.
