Dawson Consulting claims collaboration represents a fundamental shift in the evolution of supply chain relationships likely to lead to profound changes to supply chain models and major benefits. Based on what it describes as recent ground-breaking work with Coles Supermarkets across a number of product categories and supply chains, the consultancy has achieved a number of insights into what collaboration really involves, which it shared in a recent Dawson Dialogue.
Collaboration represents the next fundamental shift in the evolution of supply chain relationships Within a wider strategic context the best opportunities currently available are in addressing fundamental supply chain processes Perceived difficulties can be overcome - it is all in the way you approach collaboration Collaboration should start by changing the way you work with trading partners and not by focusing on information sharing and IT Any IT investment should be made incrementally to reflect the trial-and-error nature of collaborative efforts.
