Abstract
A handful of leading organizations are working to synchronize supply chain operations with their core business driver in order to unlock the full potential of the supply chain as a source of competitive advantage. In order to better understand what these companies are doing, researchers acting as part of the UT research team conducted in-depth field interviews with 13 benchmark companies spanning food, equipment, furniture, chemical, packaging, health care and CPG industries. The interviews yielded six best practices that companies can follow to more closely synchronize their supply chains.
