A must to read article if you want to do a Supplier Development Program. Kebalepile Matlhako, MBA captures the key transformational steps to embed a supplier development program.

Supply Chain Keynote I spoke this afternoon at the Alcott Global Annual conference in Singapore. Alcott Global is a Talent Search firm serving Supply Chain professionals. Here are the key points: 1. Supply Chain is the most impacted function, they are impacted with every change in government, with every change in policy and every small conflict anywhere in the world. Their world is one of continuous disruption. 2.Resources and consumption are spread differently globally and the challenge and opportunity is to match them with the lowest cost and beat service and quality. 3. The top ten import and export countries account for about 50 % of imports and exports. This list has remained the same for the last ten years. We live in a multipolar world and being part of different trade blocs is important for countries and companies. We now see a supply web , not a chain, a web of countries and eco system partners. 4. The dollar is the gold standard of currency in all trading businesses. 5. Data silos are a big challenge for effective supply chain management. Marketing, Finance, Operations, etc read the same data point differently and this leads to confusion and silo fights. 6.Supply chain is the backbone of the business system. Every business model is dependant on getting the supply chain right. Every company needs an honest S &OP process to win. The S&OP meeting is the place to have one version of the truth and to make the trade offs and calls on a monthly basis. The Nokia and PepsiCo systems here were good and I have attached pictures of some team members. 7.Inventory at any margin is a bad word. More leaders need to recognise this. 8. You have to try many different approaches to get things right - you have to focus on brand freshness if you are a foods company, price erosion if you are in electronics, direct to consumer in a daily subscription business etc. I spoke from my personal examples. Nationalism is on the rise and impacts every established supply web. Supply Chain people need to be resilient for the company to exhibit resilience!!

How To Manage A Transformative Supply Chain: 3 Transformational Steps By Kebalepile Matlhako, MBA, Transformation Specialist at The BEE Chamber Diversification of supply chains is a complex matter and requires resolute intervention. What makes it even more difficult are the relationships formed between supplier and client. This relationship drives predictability, upon which companies base their decision-making, and limits margins of error from unknown suppliers. Diversified supply chains require a strategic focus to ensure cost competitiveness and business survival. This requires a lot of investment, both human and financial, in creating and developing new suppliers from diverse backgrounds, races, and gender compositions, which breaks the comfort zone of familiarity, and requires continued growth and awareness of one’s conscious bias.
