A step-by-step approach to identifying a partner--and making the partnership work.
In an effort to prepare one's facility for certain change, management is looking to "partner" with vendors/manufacturers in an effort to reduce the total cost of supplies. Several opportunities exist, as long as goals and expected outcomes can be identified and realized by both parties. Much thought and work are involved before making such a commitment; however, the payback is certainly worth the investment.
