Abstract

In the ongoing pursuit of supply chain continuous improvement, an established platform ensures internal company efforts are being maximised, documented and repeatable. This paper will describe how two foundational documents can build standardisation throughout inventory management organisations while creating a process supporting continuous improvement. These basic documents support and create a shared information environment, reducing key person dependencies and bridging potential knowledge gaps when team members leave roles temporarily or permanently. Recommendations will include how to develop and implement: 1) supplier optimisation life cycle; and 2) buy guide, as well as recommendations on monitoring long-term success via tools; and 3) metrics/ key product indicators.
