Regional Aggregated Contracting

The Regional Aggregated Contracting workgroup is the first effort by SMI to expand on member-led discussions on hot industry topics. Selected by SMI members as in need of a "deeper dive," this topic reflects an emerging industry trend. The workgroup currently seeks to develop an educational document that can serve as a primer for the industry about this emerging contract model. The team plans to document the critical success factors and mutual benefits that can be expected when trading in this environment.

Value Alignment

The Value Alignment team is focused on How to Build Effective Corporate Relationships. The team recognizes that this initiative could serve as a "front end" to the existing SMI tool on Measuring Effective Relationships. The Value Alignment team expects to create a toolkit containing three major components: Effective Information Sharing, Effective Business Reviews, and Goal Setting & Metrics.

Product Recalls

The Product Recall Initiative team is the first known industry effort to explore the challenges of product recalls across all major components of the supply chain - manufacturers, distributors, and providers. The team is initially focused on understanding the "pain points" being experienced within each supply chain component, while also learning of the regulatory requirements. It is expected that a gap analysis will highlight any common challenges shared by each supply chain participant, allowing the team to then work toward a meaningful outcome to advance the industry's overall management of product recalls.
