When we’re shopping in our personal lives, most of us want to think that we’re special, and as such, deserve preferential treatment – whether it’s free upgrades for our frequent airline miles or that complimentary glass of wine from the restaurant we go to every Friday night.

There’s a supply chain equivalent calledEarned Preferential Treatment: If we buy a lot from our suppliers and pay our bills on time, we should be valued by our customers and get perks.

Onthis episodeof Talking Supply Chain, Melnyk looks at what your suppliers value, and what it takes to earn preferential treatment that will deliver a competitive advantage.
