IndustryWeek : Manufacturing and Trust: A Prescription for What Ails Our Industry
Via Scoop.it – lean manufacturing
I also wrote on the subject in Chapter 19 of Lean Logistics. Adversarial relationships between suppliers and customers are stable because each side perceives a collaborative attitude with the other as unilateral disarmament: any information they share can be used against them in a future negotiation. And there is no shortage of examples of such fears being justified. So how do you defuse this situation? Rob Olney’s article points the way, but some of his recommendations assume trust is already there. How do you get them to that point? “Distrust fuels the need for extra time, inventory, paperwork and more, ultimately building more cost and inefficiency into the supply chain.”
