Cost Effective Procedures in Supply Chain Management

Welcome, I’m Gary Patterson. Let’s talk about cost effective measure in supply chain management. It’s always a very difficult balance between doing the right thing and keeping costs under control. So, where can we help you a little today. First, if you haven’t moved to the Cloud, balance security with the issues of the great savings that are available for some of the Cloud based system now. Second, you’ve got to look at this in terms of TCO, Total Cost of Ownership. So, factor in there, how you can do a better job of keeping things working well for your customers. Because when you do this, what you’re going to find very much to your satisfaction, is your supply chain will still get the people, measure materials on time. Everything gets there to people, so that they’re happy and keep buying, which keeps all of us in business. So, the situation is, find these new opportunities to do a little better and do things just a tad more. And the opportunities, talk to your vendors and the distributors of your product. They usually have some great suggestions. Thank you.

What Is the Basic Purpose of Supply Chain Management?

Welcome, I’m Gary Patterson. Let’s talk about what is the basic element of supply chain management. Simplicity example I’ll say is everyone has got a Smart phone, you’d like it to work and you’d like it to keep working at least for the life of your Telecom contract. So the first thing we’ve got to do is that supply chain has to get the right materials at the right place at the right time so they can manufacture it so they can do a quality job at a price that lets them keep giving us a reasonable deal on the phone. Because when you don’t do this, the other issue is if the manufacturer and supplier doesn’t make enough profit to keep innovating, all of a sudden they start cutting corners and our phone doesn’t work as well. Apply this phone issue to any issue whatever you make or manufacture, you want their supply chain to do the proper job, get the right people in place, the right time, the right materials and do a good job of maintaining service. When that happens, everyone is happy and our Smart phones work and we like the next new Smart phone that comes out. Thank you.
