Image result for allocationsNothing to do with your friends, this is just about business right? when you have limited availability on inventory sometimes you need the flexibility to review your open orders and decide who get's what. A simple FIFO model for allocating products or setting priority levels by customer might just not cut it.

How GPO's And Distributors Can Benefit Each Other

Image
While not as prevalent today as in the past, there has been tension between group purchasing organizations (GPOs) and distributors over the years. A good deal of the tension was the result of a misunderstanding as to the roles each plays in the supply chain. For instance, many distributors believed — and may still believe — that they are in competition with GPOs. DEEPER INSIGHTS Turn Buyer Expectations into your Competitive Advantage While its not true for all GPOs and all situations, in the health care industry and in scores of other industries, that is not the case.

Climbing the Second Mountain

“Life is a series of problems to be analyzed and addressed. How do we fix our failing schools? How do we reduce violence? These problem-centered questions are usually the wrong ones to ask. They focus on deficits, not gifts...  The better community-building conversations focus on possibilities, not problems.  They are questions such as,  What crossroads do we stand at right now?  What can we build together?  How can we improve our lives together?  What talents do we have here that haven’t been fully expressed ?” ― David Brooks, The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life   Hat tip to Paul Giobbi for the book recommendation.  One of the benefits of being a consultant is that you have a bit more time to look at the big picture. Many of the folks I speak with are struggling with semi retirement or just not being as active and are looking to do a little something to keep them engaged.   Through my newly minted AARP Membership (I am not...
