Are Multiple Supply Chains Important Survey Response 2

Your question is to broad. Even if i categorize it to a customers needs it sounds inefficient and illogical.
One of your current answers states its hard enough to manage 1 supply chain let alone multiple.
My Response:
What is interesting is that this "assessment" appeared in a report that was written by the Institute of Supply Management (ISM), CAPS and AT Kearney last year. Much like you, I shared similar sentiments in part 3 of of my 7 part series Dangerous Supply Chain Myths (contact author for URL Link).
There are too many basic challenges that still need to be met at the operational level.
This being the case, why do you think that the report's authors highlighted this as an important issue?
Mark's Closing Comment:
Well its not like multiple supply chain networks dont exist now. Many fortuen 500 customers run multiple supply chain networks. Look at the automotive vertical whereby they do run geographically different/multiple supply chain networks and in some cases have had to institute a 4PL player to manage the multiple networks. The deliverables are questionable albeit i think there is a solid role for 4PL's.
Other High Tech companies such as AMD/Spansion also run multiple global supply chain networks and as a previous provider to those companies on logistics and transportation as an outsider looking in they would be better suited to a single supply chain network versus multiple in my humble opinion.
I think the authors are highlighting multiple networks as a subject shud be tabled and addressed as potential possibility now rather than later. Ultimately its something being practised now but 1 Global Supply Chain Network would be my preferred option for the sake of simplicity, cost effectivenesss, management and deliverables.

Re: What works for you?
- Hi Yinka,
I work better under pressure of deadlines when I am doing something for other people. However, I like to have the leisure to develop my own projects. The first case is what Stephen Covey calls a "Quadrant 1" activity ("Important and urgent") whereas the second case is a "Quadrant 2" activity ("Important, not urgent").
We should aim to make as much time as possible for Q2 activities so that we can develop our own projects. Easier said than done!
Survey the Landlord
- Terry,
my suggestion is simple but powerful - Survey.
Survey Landlords and find out what is important to them.
By doing this it does two things:
1. You will find out trends/under-operated services that Landlords are currently unsatisfied with = your client will be able to fulfill
2. You are infact Marketing your clients services by doign this because when you are approaching your landlords it not a sales pitch and they have someone to clear their frustrations with. Then when you approach them after a month (when you've put your numbers together and identified services that are most important) you can remind them of the survey and share with them the results. At this point you can end with an offer to use your clients services to manage their property.
I use this method with my clients who are looking for new services to develop in thier markets. It's simple but powerful.
Re: What newsletter program to use?
- Like GT and David I use Get Response and have not had any problems with them other than when they were converting to their upgrade. So as long as they continue to give me the service I will stick with them. I know that most people recommend Aweber.
