Vodafone: Global Supply Chain Visibility

Operational Strategies for a Global Supply Chain

The telecom industry is expanding into new product and service offerings while confronting increased global competition, requiring it to cut operating expenses and build more efficient global supply chains.


News Flash

Steve Pusey, Vodafone’s chief technology officer, said that Vodafone delivered cost savings of £410 million ($815 million) since May 2006.

Telecom companies are implementing the following:

  • Globalization:
    Companies are leveraging size and scope by consolidating business functions such as procurement across business units, to cut costs and improve operational performance. Tight integration of global business units is required for successful implementation of these types of initiatives.
  • Lean Demand-Driven:
    Initiatives designed to increase operational flexibility and allow for faster response to changes in demand result in more complex supply chain processes that must be managed effectively.
  • Supplier Collaboration:
    In order to manage a more complex and global supply chain to maintain competitiveness and reduce costs, tight integration with partners and automation of processes is required.

To differentiate, companies are providing a more complete portfolio of services, resulting in more complex supply chain relationships and inventory management processes that require more effective management.
