How are suppliers strategically dealing with the raw material crisis?

Strongly increased raw material prices due to extreme demand, among other things, as well as supply bottlenecks worldwide are currently posing immense challenges to companies and suppliers in the foundry industry and will probably continue to do so. There is no light at the end of the tunnel in sight.

Building Smarter Supply Chains

According to the Logistics Bureau, 69 percent of organizations don’t have full visibility of their supply chains. Why does this matter? Because full visibility is needed to improve manufacturing supply chain operations and reduce costs. For most manufacturers, supply chain data is siloed in various locations—often in multiple spreadsheets—which makes it difficult to uncover opportunities for improvement.

Eliminating the Seven Deadly Wastes

Waste, in lean terms, is any activity that does not add value to the product while costing a manufacturer money and resources. From active losses to missed opportunities, these wastes are so common in manufacturing operations that they are often overlooked.

The Lost Art of Building Supplier Relationships

Over the years, I've contributed about 90 articles to IndustryWeek. One of them " It Takes Two to Tango ," from 2015, dealt with the fact that in supply chain negotiations, there is middle ground if both sides are willing to compromise. The headline, suggested by my then-editor, was a bit of a stretch for me; I didn't understand how it related to the content of the article. But now I know what he was getting at. Tango dancers must coordinate and collaborate to the nth degree to successfully execute the dance.
