FOSTER COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS
To meet pressure to reduce costs while increasing innovation challenges, you may do
business in regions and countries where costs are lower, develop and maintain
relationships
with global suppliers, or outsource nonstrategic activities to suppliers. To do so, you
must
foster collaborative relationships with suppliers, outsource manufacturers, and
customers.
SAP Supply Network Collaboration, included in SAP SCM, helps you connect to and
collaborate
with:
- Suppliers – Give them easy and seamless access to supply chain
information
to facilitate your ability to synchronize supply with demand.
- Customers – Provide broad capabilities for replenishment, including
min/max-based vendor managed inventory (VMI) and for exclusion of promotions and
transport
load building.
- Contract manufacturers – Provide easy, seamless access to supply chain
information by extending visibility and collaborative processes to their manufacturing
processes.
