"The
level of interest in this demand chain approach means it
could become the model for the Australian wool industry.
If so, we will have helped transform a 200 year tradition
and assisted the wool industry in its return to profitability.."
Henry
Edgell, Chairman
Tasmanian Quality Wool
Is
this situation at all familiar? Customers want delivery in shorter
and shorter times. Our delivery performance causes customer complaints.
Suppliers let us down by late delivery. We never seem to get up
to full production capacity. Inventory keeps building up. And our
people seem more and more under pressure and stress.
If any or all of these symptoms sound familiar then your supply
chain (or demand chain or value chain call it what you will) needs
an urgent redesign.
