Abstract

Sun’s Worldwide Operations’ (WWOPS) purpose is to deliver a decisive and competitive advantage to Sun and its customers. By taking links out of its traditional supply chain and establishing a new supply chain as a virtual enterprise, Sun improved efficiency and significantly reduced costs, ultimately enabling the company to better meet or exceed customer expectations.
