PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT IS THE NEXT CHALLENGE
Product Development organizations are always making choices. From fabric to style to how many buttons or zippers are required to stay on trend. Each decision is grounded in reality and to deliver on a winning idea the execution of the concept is key. That is where sourcing comes in, taking ideas and making them real. From who will sample a material or an item, to where the item should ultimately be produced, each decision requires collaboration with extended development chain partners - your vendors. They support you in day to day activities and require the same tools as you do to manage the flow of product development data you create… Vendor management is a key strategy for product development organizations today. With the introduction of Vendor Studio, Vendor Management is elevated to a collaborative partnership between members of the product development chain and the extended supply chain. Vendor Studio brings together your people and information with your vendor’s teams in one centralized portal.
The intersection of a company’s Product Development and Development Chain management processes is a point of critical interaction. Winners in this industry must find new ways to leverage their Development Chain partnerships through information integration and collaboration – improving products, driving down cycle times, and reducing Development Chain costs. Only then can the right products find their way to market at the right time and at the right price.
