3. P&G has a long history of earning the respect of its peers -
fifth on the overall list this year, it's been ranked first in its
industry every year it's been in the survey since 1997.
Procter & Gamble has incredible reach. It's the world's largest
consumer-products company, with annual sales around $79
billion.
With commodity prices rising, P&G says it will have to raise
prices on some products. But P&G's products, including Tide,
Crest and many other household staples, form a strong
foundation to weather volatile prices down the supply chain.
4. P & G believes in 2 moments of truth
• First, when customer buys the product from shelf.
• Second, when they actually use it and like it.
In order to handle the first moment of truth, it is important
to have stocks available on shelf.
P & G realized that 48% of times their products were
unavailable on the shelf when the customers wanted it.
They were losing a large quantum of sales and hence needed
to take corrective action.
5. Innovation has long been the backbone of P&G’s growth.
As chairman, president, and CEO Bob McDonald notes,
“We know from our history that while promotions may win
quarters, innovation wins decades.”
People will innovate for financial gain or for competitive
advantage, however McDonald says there needs to be an
emotional component as well – a source of inspiration that
motivates people thus giving a message that each innovation
improves people’s lives.

10. Consumer driven supply Network : Initiative
P & G redefined the supply chain strategy under the
leadership of Keith Harrison – Head of Global Product
Supply Division.
P & G decided to have a connection between the actual
sales and the supply chain process.
• Paradigm shift in viewing supply chain management
from forecast driven to actual demand driven.
• Supply Network instead of supply chain because of
information flow in all directions.
11. P & G started its supply chain from store shelves and moved
back to its suppliers.
This operating strategy was called Consumer Driven Supply
Network.
CSDN required P & G to create a responsive supply chain
that would produce and supply products and supply products
as per demand at the customer level.
Harrison was quoted saying:
“We need to work off of real demand, so that we produce what
is actually selling , not what is forecast to sell.”
12. Nine step process model
Developing Collaboration agreement
Creating joint business plan
Creating sales forecast
Identifying exceptions for sales forecast
Resolving collaborating on exception items
Creating order forecast
Identifying exceptions for order forecast
Resolving/collaborating on exception items
