Integrating Supply and Demand

June 16, 2015 | Wendy L. Tate, Diane Mollenkopf, Theodore Stank, Andrea Lago da Silva | Strategy

To compete in different strategic segments at the same time, companies need close coordination between the sales side of the company and supply chain operations. Just as importantly, joining the supply and demand sides of an enterprise presents an opportunity for efficiency and value creation. "A company may have an excellent sales and marketing team and a top-flight operations team and still deliver the wrong benefits to a customer," the authors note. This article includes an online questionnaire for assessing the current stage of your company's demand and supply integration, with suggestions for how to improve.
