Chap005 a

The document discusses the evolution of buyer-supplier relationships from reactive transactions to strategic partnerships. It describes three types of relationships - transactional, collaborative, and alliance. Transactional relationships focus on price and are short-term, while collaborative and alliance relationships aim for lower total costs and improved performance through open communication, long-term contracts, and shared goals. Alliances require the highest levels of trust and commitment between partners to fully realize benefits like reduced costs, improved quality, and faster innovation.

Problems with the Term Partner • During the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, “partnerships” became popular » Implications of the term “partner” were not well understood » Legal problems and concerns inevitably arose • While the term “partnership” is still relatively common, we avoid use of the term preferring the terms “collaborative relationship” and “strategic alliance.” 5-2 World Class Supply ManagementSM, ISBN 0-07-229070-6, Copyright © 2003 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
