Supply Chain Management >> Delivering the right product to the right place at the right time and right price is the essence
of supply chain management. It is a strategy that requires system-level integration with partners, suppliers, and customers
to achieve maximum performance. And in 2001, we implemented solutions to address each of these aspects in our SCM
strategy as we cut overall lead time from manufacturing to sales.
We started by upgrading our global ERP system with an APS solution to support a weekly planning cycle for demand fore-
casting, resource management, and production planning functions for our entire global network of 32 production facilities and
49 sales subsidiaries. This upgrade is enabling us to better synchronize production and sales, a capability we expect to boost
on-time delivery performance by more than 10% in 2002. We also added a number of advanced tools to facilitate integration
with our partners, suppliers, and customers. For our partners, we implemented a collaborative product commerce solution
that is providing a synergistic collaborative framework to lower costs, foster innovative design, and dramatically shorten time
to market. For our suppliers, we began implementation of a supplier relationship management solution that will enable us
to create, execute, and sustain global sourcing strategies as we build win-win relationships. And for our customers, we
implemented a customer relationship management solution that is empowering us to build loyalty as well as enhance value.
