Successful Supply Chain Strategies
A recent Andersen Consulting study revealed six different, but equally successful,
supply chain strategies.
Market Saturation Driven: Focusing on generating high profit margins, through
strong brands and ubiquitous marketing and distribution.
Operationally Agile: Configuring assets and operations to react nimbly to
emerging consumer trends along lines of product category or geographic region.
Freshness Oriented: Concentrating on earning a premium by providing the
consumer with product that is fresher than competitive offerings.
Consumer Customizer: Using mass customization to build and maintain close
relationships with end-consumers through direct sales.
Logistics Optimizer: Emphasizing a balance of supply chain efficiency and
effectiveness.
Trade Focused: Prioritizing "low price, best value" for the consumer (as with
the logistics optimizer strategy but focusing less on brand than on dedicated
service to trade customers).
