Reassess Your Supply Chain to Increase Efficiency and Sustainability. By Ali Hasan Raza. Published November 25, 2019 in TWEAK YOUR BIZ. Sustainability is a philosophy, not an endpoint.

Not complying with your purchasers’ OTIF requirements can be very costly, and result in hefty fines. For example, Walmart fines its vendors 3% of the cost of goods sold if the order fails OTIF requirements. In 2016, Target stores increased their OTIF penalties to 5% of the order cost, five times what it previously was. That kind of money adds up!

This practice has overcomplicated the process of buying and deploying new technology. Retailers need clarity. There — I’ve drawn a line in the sand. Gartner’s “2019 CIO Agenda” survey reveals that the number of companies implementing AI grew from four percent to 14 percent in the past 12 months.

Alex Saric, CMO, Ivalua. In my previous posts, I looked at how to successfully launch a digital transformation and progress to best-in-class Procurement. Achieving best-in-class is a worthy goal, but should be viewed as an interim one rather than the ultimate objective, at least as typically measured.

Shippers and logistics service providers are pressured to match the “Amazon effect” for fast and efficient service across multiple B2C, B2B, and D2C channels. Perfect order delivery - on-time and in-full at the lowest possible cost – is critical.
