What is occurring at many of these firms today is an effort to par down the organization to focus
more on core capabilities while trying to create alliances or strategic partnerships with suppliers,
transportation and warehousing companies, distributors, and other customers who are good at
what they do. This team approach to making and distributing products and services to customers
is becoming the most effective and efficient way for businesses to stay successful -and is central
to the practice of SCM.

evaluated for a future purchase and when existing suppliers are periodically evaluated for
performance purposes
