The importance of transparency in the supply chain

Eszter Dean, Sourcing Office Manager is leading global sourcing at Alfa Laval Corporation. She is a  thought leader and enthusiast developer in managing the supply chain in a modern way.

When I’m looking at the procurement and sourcing, nowadays the most important thing is the transparency and correct data – both within the organization and throughout the whole supply chain. People need to know what’s going on and the accurate information should be available whenever they need it.

In the very near future, we have to start working in a different way. Today the supplier-buyer-relationship is more or less subordinate – buyer tells the supplier what to do. I see it must be much more collaborative in the future because that’s the way to innovation. Watch the video for more insights about Supply Chain Transparency.
