LEAN Supply Chain Planning
- Share to:
Today, many global supply chains in process industries are neither equipped nor orchestrated to cope effectively with the new VUCA world we are facing. VUCA—volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity—is an acronym that originated in the military back in the late 1990s and was quickly adapted to the business environment. It describes precisely the conditions of increasing variability and uncertainty of demand, and the complexity and ambiguity of product portfolios and supply chain networks in which companies operate today.
Facing the threat of increasing VUCA challenges, manufacturers are left grasping for what it means to build a superior supply chain management (SCM) organization that is capable of managing these challenges effectively. Which enablers for agility are required to manage future VUCA dynamics? Those in global network structures (the network footprint) or others in the extended supplier relationship configuration (contract manufacturers, service providers, or suppliers)? Which aspects of today’s operational and organizational lean initiatives are delivering tangible cost and efficiency results? How can supply chain organizations sustain reli- able supply in an era of ever-widening virtualization of supply networks and increasing exposure to global risk? Finally, where can supply chain managers turn for the answers to these questions?
In response to these challenges, CAMELOT Consulting Group has worked jointly with leading research institutes and key global industry players to come up with a “New Supply Chain Planning Paradigm” to face the VUCA challenges in SCM in a new way. The paradigm change in orchestrating supply chains is best explained by laying out a new approach to managing variability, uncertainty, and complexity in today’s planning processes and systems.
