Nicholas Rioux of Labviva: On How Businesses Can Address Supply Chain Management With The Looming Tariff Changes
Empower lower-level decision makers to be responsive to shifts in the supply chain. It is commonplace to centralize decision-making higher up in the organization regarding supply chain management. This is historically due to prime supplier strategies where negotiations are best done in a consolidated format. By implementing better technologies throughout the supply chain and leveraging marketplace systems, decisions can be decentralized and pushed downstream. I have worked with companies throughout the life sciences space that have successfully tapped into the savings that this decentralization can create, and they have seen hard cost savings of around 20% over more centralized models. Those levels of savings can mitigate the impacts of tariffs and provide more options to work around them.
