"Want to Outsource Your Supply Chain?"
By Marc Tanowitz and J.P. Baritugo
Marc Tanowitz and J.P. Baritugo discuss the importance of defining business requirements and performance benchmarks for delivering success through supply chain management. "Just as increased globalization, cost, regulatory and other market pressures are driving companies in all industries to look at new ways to enhance competitive value, medical device industry leaders are focusing on core differentiating processes-research and development, regulatory compliance, demand and customer management. They are evaluating ways to streamline their supply chain functions, including manufacturing, distribution and logistics. One option is outsourcing the supply chain network, a non-core but essential function that enables the efficient flow of goods and information-from raw materials to customer delivery."
Pace Harmon’s insights regarding technology trends, complex transactions, and supplier management issues are frequently quoted in leading industry journals.
