Proactive Cost Management in Supply Chains

  • Conference paper

Summary

With increasing competition many companies have extended the scope of their cost management activities across organizational boundaries. Yet, the theoretical foundation of this trend is still limited. A literature review reveals several deficiencies, above all the lack of a comprehensive conceptual framework for proactive cost management in supply chains. The paper seeks to close this gap by presenting such a framework which has been used in an exploratory case study in the automotive industry. The empirical evidence of this case study is described and directions for further research are suggested.
