Relationships between suppliers we can create significant value and help supply chains become more resilient. Suppliers can work together with us to develop innovative new products, boosting revenues and profits. We can take an integrated approach to supply-chain optimization, redesigning their processes together to reduce waste and redundant effort, or jointly purchasing materials. Or we can collaborate in forecasting, planning, and capacity management. Thereby, we want to improve our service levels, mitigating risks, and strengthening the supply chain.
