• TOMORROW: JDF Implications
JDF Implications
Traditional Supply Chain vs JDF Supply Chain

Traditional JDF
• Throughput time
• Reaction to demand
• Planning Flexibility
• Cost Efficiency

• Process quality

• Product Quality

• Environmental/Waste

• Capital update
Trend?

Integration? Specialization?
JDF Implications
Impact on the industry

• Acceleration of trends (e-commerce)

• Increased interdependence in supply chain

• Non-responsive companies out of market

• More task specialization – less integrated companies

• New actors in industry (e.g. brokers or printing managers)

JDF Implications
Challenges to implementation…

• Does the whole supply chain speak JDF?

• Training & firing people

• IT and knowledge intensive

• High investments

• Link to MIS
JDF Implications
…but worhty!

JDF

The same process can create a different supply chain
