Thinking about putting it off until later?
Every day…
- Suppliers are surprised by losing business they’ve held for years
- Suppliers are being placed on the customer “phase-out” list without even knowing it
- Suppliers are being told that their scorecard is “red” and they have to improve or lose business
- Suppliers are being asked to make things at less than their cost and then losing to a competitor
who says he can do it and still make a profit- Suppliers are losing business to another supplier who is consolidating business for 20 suppliers
Surprise after surprise after surprise – the message? BE PREPARED!
