Supplier Development and the Value Proposition

This article will help you better understand both the value proposition and the role that the supply chain can play in adding value to processes, product and the customer’s bottom line. Norma Simons, President of Simons-White & Associates, and Ben Mejabi, a Professor of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at Wayne State University, explore the role of performance management in developing the supply chain and the stages of supply chain development your organization must advance along. The fact is that QMS implementation and registration throughout the supply chain is only a starting point for pursuit of value.
