Supplier collaboration refers to a strategic relationship between an organization and its suppliers to achieve common goals, such as improving supply chain efficiency and enhancing product quality. This can involve joint product development, joint forecasting and planning, and collaborative decision-making. It also involves sharing information and data, such as inventory levels, production schedules, and customer demand, to enable better supply chain management. Effective supplier collaboration requires trust, transparency, open communication between the company and its suppliers, a commitment to continuous improvement, and a shared vision for success.
Supplier collaboration is also very important in the ability of an organization to develop more sustainable supply solutions.
