Una empresa gana en el mercado al ofrecer un mejor valor para los clientes en comparación a sus competidores, y el logro de esa meta comienza con la estrategia. A nivel empresarial, la estrategia es el resultado de las decisiones que los ejecutivos toman sobre lo que debe hacer y no hacer. La estrategia de una empresa tiene la intención de responder a algunas preguntas clave cómo: ¿a qué mercados servimos, quiénes son nuestros clientes, y qué valoran de lo que les ofrecemos. Proporcionar las respuestas a estas preguntas requiere de compensaciones influenciadas por consideraciones de la cadena de suministro. Es por eso que la fusión en el desarrollo de estrategias de negocio son críticas en ella.
Considere la cadena de suministro en el proceso de desarrollo de la estrategia
Aunque algunos estudios han demostrado que muchos ejecutivos no son conscientes acerca de las consideraciones de la cadena de suministro, la colaboración interna debe comenzar en el nivel ejecutivo. Llevar la representación de cadena de suministro en el proceso de planificación de la estrategia a nivel ejecutivo asegura que la colaboración interna requerida se dirija desde la parte superior. También asegura que se preste atención a los recursos necesarios para ejecutar la estrategia. En una empresa de electrónica médica de alta tecnología, se hizo una decisión ejecutiva para penetrar en un nuevo mercado con productos que ninguna otra empresa ofrece. Un presidente muy confiado anunció a la empresa que “dentro de los 18 meses la mayoría de nuestros ingresos provendrá de los productos que no hacemos aún”. Sólo había un problema: no habían proveedores capaces de producir el componente necesario de esos nuevos productos.
