An organization implements a dock-to-stock
An organization implements a dock-to-stock program with a key supplier. How will this impact the total cost of ownership (TCO) if the program is implemented correctly? TCO will not be affected because passing costs on to the supplier cannot improve costs from a total supply chain perspective TCO will be higher because the costs of supplier relationship management will more than offset shorter lead times from such a program OTCO will initially be higher but will eventually be lower as the cost of poor quality goes down. OTCO will be lower due to no receiving and inspection without a higher average cost of poor quality
