Emphasis on total quality management and customer satisfaction

-part of a larger trend over past few decades to improve value -supply had to buy into responsibility for the quality of output of goods -requires a focus on understanding total costs of supply decisions and cost mgmt capabilities -cost mgmt begins with early supply involvement and ongoing efforts to analyze and reduce total supply chain costs
