| Long-Term Relationships |
|
| Although project-by-project supply chains can add benefit, Travis Perkins Supply Chain Management is ideally based on strategic long-term relationships, using beneficial electronic trading systems where appropriate. |
|
| TP Capabilities |
|
- Travis Perkins has the resource to nominate suitably qualified project leaders to champion the supply chain process throughout the lifetime of the project. The appointed "champion" will act as a focal point for communication both internally & externally.
- With a long-term relationship, Travis Perkins has the ability to develop & implement electronic trading solutions with other supply chain members using in house expertise or third party software developers as appropriate.
|
| Benefits |
|
- Long-Term supply chain relationships enable beneficial systems to be developed, evolved & carried forward to benefit the supply chain & client on subsequent projects.
- A greater understanding of the needs, capabilities & limitations of each supply chain member is generated.
- Strategic supply chains reduce duplication of workload since many best practice initiatives can be carried forward to future projects rather than starting from fresh for each project.
- Strategic relationships provide the opportunity for members of the supply chain to obtain greater benefit from resources available within Travis Perkins. For example supply chain members could be supported by the in house electronic trading expertise, or introduced to known third party software developers where existing systems are not suitable.
