The recent Forecast Errors newsletter discussed building trust in supply chain is essential. Lack of collaboration is often the cornerstone of conflicts, blame, and mistrust between a manufacturer and suppliers. These communication breakdowns lead to finger-pointing when forecast errors and disputes arise. The manufacturer contends the supplier did not acknowledge the material purchase orders or ship on-time as promised. The supplier argues that the purchase order was not received or duplicated or rejected or went missing-in-action. Accusations result in ill-will, lost productivity, resentment, poor relationships, and bad customer service. Cost-effective supply chain collaboration between manufacturer and suppliers is paramount. Without that constraint addressed, all other benefits are pointless. Cost-effective collaboration often starts with electronic Kanban.

An idea born out of a question of what non-food item to bring into her child's class for his birthday sprang the beginnings of a business. When a local San Francisco area mother was frantically looking for an item to bring into her son’s kindergarten classroom for his birthday to distribute among his classmates, she was stumped on any idea of what to bring. She could buy some trinkets made in China to give to the children, but was unable to hand out the traditional birthday cupcake due to school rules. Ironically, while browsing to buy cupcakes for her son’s soccer team at a local bakery with some pretty overpriced baked goods, she saw a cupcake on display ordained with gold flakes. Suddenly, an idea popped up in her head, that she should create a treasure for the children to have, a mini bottle of gold flakes. She then purchased gilding sheets from a local art store, crumbled the sheets into flakes, stuffed them into bottles and sent them with her son to his school. The feedback she received was amazing, the kids loved the “treasure, and the parents especially loved the non-sugary gift.
