When HP launched its biggest supply chain transformation in history in 2010, it was evident that the challenging multi-billion year-to-year savings targets would be difficult to reach in the traditional way.
This transformation required new approaches to deliver substantial improvements across businesses, targeting cost reductions as well as structural streamlining in the form of partner, network and site consolidations.
To meet these challenges, HP had to enhance its analysis toolbox to deliver supply chain projects faster and with better alignment across businesses and regions. (For more on the transformation initiative, see “HP’s Supply Chain Transformation Challenge.”)
