Demand-Driven Supply Networks: Advancing Supply Chain Management

Tags: shopping cart, point of sale, warehouse

Overview Most consumer products companies realize that developing a Demand-Driven Supply Network (DDSN) could provide the pathway to true customer focus. These supply networks depart from the traditional systematic manufacturing "Push" of products to market - which meets the demand of the distribution center, but not of the end customer. Because actual buying decisions are made with the shopping cart, not the warehouse picker, DDSN turns the business around: customers actually "Pull" products to the point of sale. DDSN is the next step in the advancement of supply chain philosophy, which has included responsive replenishment; collaborative planning, forecasting, and replenishment; and others. These advances streamlined the supply chain to deliver greater profits through efficiencies and collaboration among trading partners.
