Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Effective supply chain management

Notes: Sumario: In a time of shortening product life cycles, complex corporate joint ventures, and stiffening requirements for customer service, it is necessary to consider the complete scope of supply chain management, from supplier of raw materials, through factories and warehouses, to demand in a store for a finished product. Hewlett-Packard has developed a framework for addressing the uncertainty that plagues the performance of suppliers, the reliability of manufacturing and trasnportation processes, and the changing desires of customers. The author describes several cases in which entire product families have been reevaluated in a supply chain constext. The methodology he presents should help others to manage their own supply chains more successfullyRelated records: En: Sloan management review. - Boulder. - Summer 1993 ; p. 35-46Materia / lugar / evento: Técnicas de producción Distribución de la producción Control de producción Management Producción Planificación Asociaciones empresariales Secondary titles: Título: Sloan management review
