 Achieving Supply Chain Excellence by Balancing the Economics of Production with the Economics of Cooperation
Technology has done much to make supply chain initiatives possible and successful, yet technology alone is not enough. A group of forward thinking and influential companies formed the National Initiative for Supply Chain Integration ( NISCI ) to use cooperation to beneficially impact the operations of members. NISCI has the potential to act as a hub ­ giving businesses the opportunity to establish synchronized supply chain strategies that will be greater than the sum of the parts.
