“Keep your friends close and your vendors closer,” we know that the actual quote has enemies (instead of vendors). This blog’s intent, however, is to demonstrate the importance of the nodes that make a supply chain work in business: Vendors. Beyond the ‘obvious’ function of keeping goods and materials flowing through the supply chain, vendors influence customer relationship management (CRM).

 

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the vendors in your supply chain to ensure they are reliable and to take proactive, preventive measures for the weaker nodes.

 

This would involve deciding on a rating system, KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), creating a contingency plan, etc.
