ASIA some changes to drive us forward so we implemented a new supply chain organisation . This meant some positions became redundant and also some new positions were established . This was a tough job , but necessary . “ We believe it will take another two years before we are on the level we want to be , but we get great support from the company and the staff . Of course , not everybody welcomes change , but most do .
“ We send out monthly newsletters on each sub-project to help staff understand . We also do bi-weekly reporting within our own management team in the supply chain and we report to the top-level management team monthly . We have an open-door policy . Our strategy is worth nothing if you don ’ t communicate it well .”
Anders adds : “ It ’ s also very important to have a cross functional team . So even if it is a supply chain project , we are integrated with service people , R & D , sales , HR and finance . We ’ re moving away from silo-oriented thinking into process-oriented thinking .
