Situation
Traditionally, firms have been focused on the production and delivery of their products in the most efficient manner possible. Countless investments have been made in these processes to provide timely delivery of these products at an optimized overall supply chain cost.
Challenge
However, today’s business environment requires that firms think beyond the supply chain to envision to the entire value chain and how their desired products will reach their ultimate customer.
Solution
The Axia Institute has identified 7 competencies that influence a firm’s ability to successfully make this transition. The Axia Value Chain Index diagnostic tool helps organizations identify their capabilities to identify how they can best make that transition.
