A series of podcasts aimed at discussing ideas and best practice within the supply chain world has begun this week, and the first topic has been globalisation.
Globalisation for many has been a source of debate: is it happening, and how is it working? But more and more, international companies are realising that globalisation is happening, and with it there are some critical impacts that will be felt by supply chain management.
Globalisation is not just 'working internationally', but it concerns the needs and values of a full spectrum of employees which span globally, and therefore supply chain management is at the forefront of the move into globalisation.
Companies currently looking to expand their supply chains internationally, or already import goods from overseas are coming under more and more pressure from consumers to ensure that their sources are both ethical and green.
To make a full assessment of the supply chain potential of a company, a third party is often best placed to find areas of improvement, and as such outsourcing a company's supply chain management could be the most effective way of making improvements.
