    Map support for supply chain strategy

    Supply chain strategic plans that are based on detailed, function-specific, bottom-up analysis are time-consuming and often lose sight of the overall supply chain strategic ambition.

    Instead, use a disciplined supply chain strategy framework to collaborate with key stakeholders across functions on end-to-end supply chain strategy development.
