Our Adaptive Scheduling capability, made possible by these relationships, is a key reason customers look to GSM to help them manage their demand and internal capacity fluctuations. Continuous improvements in our organizational and manufacturing structures and our state-of-the-industry MRP/ERP system and electronic date interfaces (EDI) not only insure that this capability continues to be a core competitive advantage for us, but affords our customers and suppliers a significant strategic advantage by providing the flexibility that complex demand dynamics require. The key is to simplify the process, using best-in-class suppliers who care as much about us as a customer as we care about our customers. “When you shrink the supply chain, you make it less complex. You take out distance. You take out time. You take out variability. When you do that you are minimizing the risk.” – Gene Long, VP of Industry Supply Chain, Chainalytics, in EBN June 2014 At GSM, excellent relationships and flexibility have been crucial to our ability to adapt to change.
