GSG - Beyond the Numbers

This advanced portal will provide partners with the communications they need to proactively support GSG, directly mirroring the strategy of joint business planning used with key distributors. This will be achieved through several proven strategies:  Shared Supplier Scorecards : The portal will feature transparent, real-time scorecards tracking mutually agreed-upon Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as on-time delivery, quality (measured in defects per million), and cost competitiveness. This aligns performance and creates a foundation for data based conversations.  Collaborative Planning and Forecasting : Partners will have access to GSG's production forecasts and inventory levels, allowing them to better plan their own capacity and material procurement. This reduces lead times and prevents the disruptions that this plan seeks to eliminate.  Supplier Development Programs : Leveraging the "centers of excellence" established through vertical integration, GSG will actively "educate vendors" by offering training in its quality systems and lean manufacturing principles.
