‘Time to market’ and ‘time to volume’ are powerful metrics employed by com- panies such as Sony and Canon where short life cycles dictate a focus on rapid response to fast-changing technologies and volatile customer demand. In the past, the focus of many companies was primarily on efficiency, i.e. a con- tinuing search for lower costs, better use of capacity, reduced inventories and so on. These are still worthy goals today but the priority has shifted. Now the empha- sis must be on effectiveness. In other words the challenge is to create strategies and procedures that will enable organisations to become the supplier of choice and to sustain that position through higher levels of customer responsiveness. This is the logic that underpins the concept of the agile supply chain.
A routemap to responsiveness
The shift in the balance of power in the distribution channel has highlighted the need for the business to be driven by the market rather than by its own internal goals. However, for organisations to become truly market-driven, there has to be a sustained focus on responsiveness across the business and its wider supply chain. There are many prerequisites for responsiveness and Figure 5.14 summa- rises the key elements. The responsive business will have agile suppliers and will work very closely with them to align processes across the extended enterprise. It will also be very close to its customers, capturing information on real demand and sharing that information with its partners across the network. Internally the business will also be focused on agility through the way it organises – breaking through functional silos to create process teams. In terms of its manufacturing and sourcing strategy, the responsive business will seek to marry the lean and agile paradigm through de-coupling its upstream and downstream processes, utilising the principles of postponement wherever possible. Those companies that can follow this routemap will be more likely to be the leaders in their field. More often than not, when we look at the successful compa- nies in any market, they tend to be the ones that have demonstrated their ability to respond more rapidly to the changing needs of their customers. The case study that concludes this chapter underlines the challenges that organisations must con- front as they seek to become more responsive to customer needs.
