Can your Global Operations Strategy become a market disrupting capability?

[GOS]

•   Can we combine internal and external capabilities into a more seamless network?
•   Can we create more cost reduction and revenue generating leverage by a more globally integrated approach to operations?
•   Is there a real opportunity for Global Operations Orchestration to be a market disrupting capability?

My work involves strategic design of supply chain and logistics systems. Operations strategy is a key element in the design of such systems. In my work I use formal modelling and analysis methods to evaluate alternative operations strategies.

To answer the kinds of questions you are asking, I think it would be useful to have more specific information about the elements of an operations strategy that you envisage will be impacted and which capabilities will be changed.

One suggestion would be to develop a specific example, perhaps one from a real world case that you are familiar with, and then suggest how you envisage the alternative operations strategy would operate.

It might be possible to try to evaluate the ideas and provide some insights towards answering the questions you're asking.

Good suggestion... I will develop a scenario to illustrate my thoughts... however, I would like to start with re-ordering the hierarchy of some terminology... Operations Strategy is the primary framework, supply chain management is a tool and some of the jam in the Global Operations sandwich... with logistics, freight management, material management, being some of the elements needed within that strategy...
