From AAIA’s Insider: Supply Chain Transformation Begins with a Benchmark

By raising the visibility of supply chain in the aftermarket dialog, it is expected that more companies can adopt the winning strategies of the best performers from around the world of commerce, and benefit from improved supply chain efficiency and customer collaboration.

Recently, the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA) announced a valuable alliance with the Supply Chain Council (SCC) that makes the best practices in supply chain management more accessible and affordable for AAIA members. By raising the visibility of supply chain in the aftermarket dialog, it is expected that more companies can adopt the winning strategies of the best performers from around the world of commerce, and benefit from improved supply chain efficiency and customer collaboration. Among the major benefits of the exclusive AAIA/SCC collaboration, AAIA members will receive: timely and specific notification of SCC training seminars and Webinars; discounts of 50 percent on publications and training seminars that are essential for those wishing to improve their supply chain efficiency; and the opportunity to participate in the council’s benchmarking survey to discover how a member’s company stacks up against others from across many segments of industry.

AAIA talks about benefits of this new collaboration in the June/July 2009 edition of Aftermarket Insider.
