RESEMBLING THE INTRODUCTION OF THE INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC MODEL
The Fosbury Flop jump is a back jump performed by jumping backward over the bar rather than forward. Before its introduction, the predominant technique was the belly roll, which consisted of jumping forward and stepping over the bar with your belly up. The Fosbury Flop revolutionized jumping in athletics, breaking the Olympic record in 1968 and, since then, establishing a new jumping technique that most athletes around the world have used.
In many ways, the introduction of the Fosbury Flop jump (the name given to the hopping technique) resembles the introduction of the Integration Coefficient IC business model in the supply chain.
Like the Fosbury Flop jump, the Integration Coefficient IC has been slowly gaining industry acceptance. It is every time less the presence of cultural and communication barriers preventing companies and customers from seeing the value in adopting this innovative approach. However, many companies are still dealing with the same outdated supply chain business model making the possibility to change how they think and work more difficult to reach. The same occurred to the athletes when they insisted on using the older jump technique for a long time.
Like the Fosbury Flop, once companies adopt the Integration Coefficient IC business model, significant improvements in efficiency and customer satisfaction are achieved. By cutting out the inefficiencies by working directly with the best suppliers in each area, and taking into account the real needs of the customers, higher quality products and maximum client satisfaction are obtained as well as more competitive prices and faster delivery times. In addition, the Integration Coefficient IC helps overcome barriers in the supply chain that were previously difficult to manage. By working with different vendors in different areas, we, as integrators, provide a complete and customized solution for each client, addressing the challenges that arise in the supply chain.
To make the Integration Coefficient IC widely accepted, we set a plan that included educating customers on the benefits of adopting this approach and demonstrating how our business model helps companies improve efficiency, quality, and customer satisfaction, and we have done that clearly and concisely resonating with each customer's needs.
In short, the Integration Coefficient IC is now a big revolution in the supply chain, just as the Fosbury Flop was a revolution in athletics. There are still barriers to face, but when IC is adopted, it improves efficiency and customer satisfaction.
