Today’s supply “chain” resembles more of a complex “web” of interdependent relationships and functions rather than a collection of independent silos of activity. For this reason, Collinear Alliance members subscribe to the philosophy of viewing our client’s supply chain in a holistic manner, enabling us to better add intrinsic value to their bottom lines and increase the value proposition of our services to these businesses.
