Agile Supply Chains thrive on agile partnerships.
Supply Chains run across multiple organisations. Products, services, money and information change hands at several interfaces. These hand-offs often result in significant loss of agility.
How do we design Agile Supply Chains which are equally agile at these interfaces? It should be like a relay team exchanging batons, be it products, services, money or information.
Interface agility requires trust among various partners. If trust is missing, every partner works on his own demand outlook, not the one derived from the final consumer demand outlook.
Agility also requires transparency across various partners, not only in sharing the demand outlook, but also in sharing actions taken, the proposed actions, and potential disruptions.
Agile partnerships, built on trust and transparency, enable supply chain agility.
