Did You Know...?
That Value Analysis Was Developed Back In the 1940's After World War II as a Way to Find Lower Cost but Higher Quality Alternative products and methods. This was Due to the Lack of Material Resources At The End of The War.

“Must-Have” Skills
Greetings,
Now is the best time to turn tough times into a great opportunity to invest in upgrading your supply chain teams’ “must-have” skills to maximize your capacity to save even more money in less time.
That’s why, if you have been tolerating less than stellar talent, expertise and ability in your staff, especially in mission critical areas of your supply chain operations, then you have been lacking the horse power to accelerate your supply chain performance.
No longer can we make excuses for the deficiencies in our staff’s skills in these trying times if we want them to be more informed, productive and efficient employees who can root out all waste and inefficiency in our supply chains.
By way of example, just last week one of our clients told us who understands this power booster, told us that he was investing in value analysis training for his staff. He alos told us that he might even hire more qualified replacements because he can’t rise above his current level of performance without his staff having the “must-have” skills to keep his supply chain cost down and his quality up.
What are these “must-have” skills? They are the following:
Value Analysis * Benchmarking * Inventory Management * Negotiations * Legal Aspects * Life Cycle Cost Analysis * Sourcing * Price Evaluation * Forecasting * Transportation Management * Reclamation and Salvage * Budgeting * Purchasing * Utilization Management * Charge Administration * Contract Administration * Presentation * Communication * Project Management * Marketing
I’m sure you could add to this list of “must-have” skills, but you get the idea. If your staff isn’t proficient in these and other important basic skill sets required to be better than good, then you are missing the chance to turn tough times into great opportunities.
