Determined to pay as low a price as possible for materials,

manufacturers have not traditionally cultivated warm relationships with
suppliers. In the words of one general manager: “The best approach to
supply is to have as many players as possible fighting for their piece of
the pie—that’s when you get the best pricing.” Excellent supply chain
management requires a more enlightened mindset—recognizing, as a
more progressive manufacturer did: “Our supplier’s costs are in effect
our costs. If we force our supplier to provide 90 days of consigned
material when 30 days are sufficient, the cost of that inventory will find
its way back into the supplier’s price to us since it increases his cost
structure.” While manufacturers should place high demands on
suppliers, they should also realize that partners must share the goal of
reducing costs across the supply chain in order to lower prices in the
marketplace and enhance margins. The logical extension of this thinking
is gain-sharing arrangements to reward everyone who contributes to the
greater profitability.1
