We’ve shared numerous articles on supply chain management, highlighting how companies have improved efficiency through advanced technology. Now our partners at RFgen offer insights on how forming dedicated supply chain management teams can further help companies meet their business goals.

“The true power of a supply chain team lies in its cohesion—a unified force bound by trust, communication, and clear goals.”

RFgen identified 3 strategies for a winning supply chain team: separate labor into segments, employ the right employees, and improve communication.

Separate labor into segments – Not only does this enable the work to be fully segmented but also those workers can specialize and become experts in their area of focus. As experts, the teams can be more productive and improve processes.

Employ the right employees – Developing your employees and providing them with a pathway for mobility allows for a deep understanding of how the business operates and creates an environment of cross-functional training while reducing costs.

Improve communication – “Communication is the foundation for every strong relationship.” Manufacturing and the supply chain are key areas where communication should be optimal. The ability to communicate allows for better accuracy and improved decision-making.

While none of these strategies are groundbreaking, companies often become so focused on technological advancements that they overlook the potential of their human resources. By nurturing these valuable assets through the strategies mentioned, businesses can elevate their supply chain management.
