Why Should We Care?
In today’s inflationary, supply disrupted world, it is no longer “good enough” to be good at strategy or execution. Instead, you must be excellent at both. Using SIOP is a critical vehicle to ensure the appropriate strategy decisions rise to the top to get addressed, AND it provides the appropriate information and collaboration to set your operations and supply chain teams up to execute successfully. Finally, if you utilize our best practices of SIOP and related planning processes, you’ll expand SIOP to your end-to-end supply chain with your customers and suppliers and bridge the gap to your planning processes to ensure you’ll thrive during these volatile times.
Thus, from a strategy viewpoint, you’ll have the appropriate information to determine if you should reshore, nearshore, offload, source new strategic partners, vertically integrate, diversify your geographical footprint, adjust capacity and resources, modify inventory objectives, and more. Additionally, from an execution standpoint, you’ll have the information, collaboration and plans to bridge the gap from strategy to execution so that you can not only survive but thrive during these volatile times.
