Executive Vice President of Kinaxis Featured on Better Process Podcast
John Sicard discusses response management strategies and best practices.
Ottawa, Canada (PRWEB) April 13, 2007 -- Kinaxis™ Inc., the leading provider of an on-demand Response Management service, announced that John Sicard, executive vice president of development and service operations, recently interviewed with Better Process Podcast to discuss the emerging challenge manufacturers are facing in responding to constant change across global supply networks.
Better Process Podcast, a daily manufacturing news show, interviewed Sicard to discuss the urgent need for visibility and coordination to drive rapid response to ever-present changes in demand, supply and product. In the approximate 10-minute podcast, host, Ken Rayment speaks with Sicard about why traditional supply chain planning solutions and informal tools like Excel spreadsheets fail to adequately address the issue and how manufacturers, particularly those in the high-tech electronics market, can establish a company-wide competency in Response Management to drive an edge over the competition.
According to Sicard, "Response Management is all about increasing customer satisfaction while improving operating performance in a world of constant change." He explains that, "by engaging the right people empowered with comprehensive information and robust data analysis tools, companies can compress their time to action and reduce supply chain risk across a distributed organization."
Given the volatility in the market and the complexity of today's global supply networks, those manufacturers that can adopt a strategic approach to Response Management can achieve desired customer service levels at the lowest possible cost and with the least amount of inventory risk - turning their ability to respond effectively and efficiently into a compelling competitive advantage.
