Keeping it Simple

By Patrick Burnson, Executive Editor
September 03, 2010

The recently concluded SCOPE West conference in Las Vegas yielded some remarkable information, and delivered on its promise of fresh insight.

The consensus among most presenters was that supply chain leaders were “attacking complexity,” while embracing a new level of “simplicity.”

SCOPE (Supply Chain Operations Private Expositions) organizers said this year’s event would provide us with strategic presentations and panels from industry thought leaders and “real world” customer led case studies. Indeed it did.

Mark Vollrath, worldwide director of Colgate-Palmolive, noted, for example, that his company does 80 percent of its business overseas…contrary to popular perception. That means that new procurement and manufacturing practices have to be leveraged if the company wishes to continue to cut supply chain costs as it expands into new markets.

‘How do we do this?” he asks. “By employing segmented collaboration within our human resources. If we have a logistics specialist in India that can lend his expertise in China, we send him there.”
And while that may sound “simple,” how many other multinationals are pursuing this course?
