Sense and Respond: Secrets to an Agile Supply Chain
Hau L Lee, Ph.D., MS, MSc
Thoma Professor of Operations, Information and Technology, Director of the Stanford Institute for Innovations in Developing Economies,
Director of the Stanford Global Supply Chain Management Forum, Graduate School of Business
Stanford University
Sense and Respond is considered an essential strategy to create an agile supply chain. But perhaps one should emphasize how to sense and how to respond. In particular, for today's supply managers and executives, we are faced with unprecedented market dynamics and uncertainties, increasing risks, and at the same time, heightened pressure on sustainability and social responsibility. Sense and Response is a crucial approach to deal with such challenges. Explore how sense and how respond have enabled leaders to gain control of the challenges and make headway in creating competitive advantage. As supply chains become more complex, fast response involves coordinating with multiple partners. The key is that we have to sense smartly, and respond with speed aka "Sensible Sense" and "Responsive Response."
