September 27, 2004 Using Supply Network Influence To Tame Demand Variabilityby Noha Tohamy with Navi Radjou, Jessica Harrington |
|
This is an excerpt
Executive Summary
Vendors like IBM, PeopleSoft, and BearingPoint are touting the concept of demand-driven supply chains, which calls for firms to sense and respond in near real time to consumption data. But this approach lacks practicality and risks swinging the supply-centric pendulum to the other extreme — positioning better demand visibility as the panacea for supply chain management. Instead, firms must implement appropriate demand-focused strategies that fit their supply network influence — i.e., their ability to shape supply and demand in the face of demand variability.
