  • Integrity is important in the supply chain. Always think and act globally. It will be easier to reach the goal if a common strategy is adopted that will help carry the whole chain up and each link of the chain develops its own plans accordingly.

  • Measurable results must be taken. Because measurable results bring analyzes with them. Analyzes are one of the best and most accurate ways to manage a good supplier process by comparing past and future performances.

  • It is also important to avoid over-production. Over-production can be reverted as excess inventory.

  • Complex logistics structures are a must. It is important to determine the distance between the end user and warehouses, and determine the logistics structure accordingly.

  • Waiting can be defined as actions that don't require action, but are exhausting for business. High lead times always create problems. It may cause customer dissatisfaction or work may come to a halt. This should be avoided in the event of efficiencies and financial losses.

  • The convenience of the business environment is also important for supply chain processes. Organizational order needs to be established. Inadequate planning and organizational disruptions are also triggers for a tense environment for employees.
