The+Living+Widgets+Project

The Living Widgets Global Supply Network builds on traditional supply networks and supply network management software to provide targeted added value. Not only can you use it to refine your supply network management, but you can leverage your business development efforts by providing an automated interface for prospects and customers to connect to your products and services.

Living Widgets integrates products and services with the people that provide those products and services. Thus, employees are a special class of supplier. This facilitates management decisions regarding in-house development vs. outsourcing. However, it does not mean that employees are commodities. The multidimensional quality ratings of the service provider — both internal and external — contribute to sourcing decisions.

All suppliers are tracked for price and performance, with performance being measured on all relevant variables: quality, timeliness, innovation, and whatever else may be relevant. In-house tracking data is supplemented by global tracking measures.

At an implementation level, t he Living Widgets Global Supply Network uses a variety of templates, or business models.
