In the complex global village of the OEM/Discreet Manufacturing Industry today, success is no longer based on the performance of a single organization. It is a derivative of the concerted and collaborative actions of a complex network of suppliers and consumers that stretch across national boundaries and geographies. To optimize the performance of this interdependent supply chain, the old school approach to simple buy-sell relationships is just not good enough anymore. It requires visibility, transparency and collaboration up and down the supply chain.
Equipment manufacturers must move beyond arm’s length relationships with their suppliers to an environment where they are able to coordinate alliances, partnerships and information, as well as overcome the technical challenges of connecting withtheir supply chain partners. These challenges are compounded when suppliers serve multiple equipment manufacturers, a scenario where a given organization’s product development or engineering secrets run the risk of exposure to competitors. To address this, smart equipment manufacturers are proactively partnering with their suppliers under the protections built into clear, definitive working agreements that address intellectual property and proprietary knowledge.
