digital supply-chain collaboration Explanation: First a definition from Wikipedia: "Ketensamenwerking is een vorm van samenwerking tussen partijen die opeenvolgend met elkaar samenwerken aan één product of proces. Ketensamenwerking is de vorm van samenwerking tussen partijen onderling die in eerste instantie geen directe zakelijke afspraak met elkaar behoeven te hebben, maar indirect gezamenlijk wel verantwoordelijk zijn voor het tot stand komen van een project." And an example of its use in English ("supply chain collaboration" gets 150,000 hits): "Although collaboration offers many benefits for consumer goods manufacturers and retailers, too often their joint initiatives don't work out. To ensure success, partner companies should take these six actions together. "Supply chain collaboration is a hot topic today—and no wonder: companies that collaborate effectively across the supply chain have enjoyed dramatic reductions in inventories and costs, together with improvements in speed, service levels, and customer satisfaction." "Collaboration between companies—joint initiatives that go beyond their normal course of day-to-day business, with the aim of delivering significant improvement over the long term—is particularly attractive for the consumer packaged goods (CPG) sector."
