The Vendor Neutral Model is the industry VMS – Vendor Neutral Model
standard used for the sourcing of temporary

competition among suppliers. It is also
exclusively data driven in order to identify
and correct any and all problems in the
system process.

The Achilles' heel of this model is the
inevitable collapse of communication
caused by the introduction of an additional
“management” layer between the client,
1st Tier 1st Tier 1st Tier 1st Tier 1st Tier
(Sonoco) and its‟ vendors.
The end result being disloyal, frustrated, 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd
