It is essential to establish positive open and honest working relationships with suppliers, this can only occur when both parties commit to a relevent and honest communication process. SRM enables this process to be discussed and the right way to manage a relationship be established at the onset. Where cost and value sit alongside quality and competative advantage, it is critical that client businesses invest time in managing their supplier relationships to get the best results for both parties.
Developing products together so that they are easier to manufacture and also have innovative features is the way to go.
