Effective and sophisticated supply chain intelligence

Summary

During the Crossrail project the Programme Supply Chain Team closely monitored the Tier 2 supply chain. This activity saw the team monitoring all ‘critical’ packages across every site, seeking to identify potential financial and capacity risk. However, although this worked well, there is an argument that narrower, but deeper, supply chain analysis may be more effective, and supply chain managers may wish to consider both options.

This micro-report will be of interest to procurement specialist and project managers on major projects, and suppliers at all levels.
