Avoid Common Mistakes in Supply Chain Network Design Initiatives
According to Gartner, “Supply chain network design is essential for optimizing efficiency and achieving business goals; however, some initiatives fail to deliver the desired impact. Supply chain leads responsible for strategy can use this research to address key mistakes and what should be done to avoid them.”
- Without clear business objectives and well-defined scope, supply chain design initiatives can get too broad and lack focus, hindering insightful analysis.
- High expectations for ROI in network optimization often lead to overly complicated initial projects. This is usually done with the belief that it will drive large savings, but is often overambitious.
- Limited stakeholder and subject matter expert (SME) involvement during the execution phase can result in a lack of buy-in to implement the recommendations.
