Consider and discuss areas of your supply chain that could benefit from having more flexibility and resiliency. List specific activities you could undertake to make improvements.
An area that could more flexibility is the availability of information on preferred vendors, agreements and contracts. The information is stored in more than a couple databases. Each database holds some similar information, and others a variety of different data. The databases are all updated manually and do not speak to each other. The overlap of information is noticeably different between databases, and is almost never updated regularly or at the same time. This can cause internal buyers/purchasers to be at risk. Missing out on preferred pricing, better pricing from other suppliers and no other purchaser knows, risk to be in-compliant with active agreements, and high risk to negatively affect relationships.
Having one controlled database for all information can increase the transparency into vital information for all users.
