ABeam Consulting Vietnam Introduces BSQCD Purchasing Strategy Framework to Transform Supply Chain Management
Addressing Vietnam's Growing Supply Chain Challenges with Innovation
As Vietnam strengthens its position as a global manufacturing hub, businesses face increasingly complex supply chain challenges. From global disruptions to sustainability requirements and digital transformation demands, traditional supply chain management approaches are no longer sufficient. Recognizing these evolving needs, ABeam Consulting Vietnam introduces the innovative BSQCD Purchasing Strategy framework – a comprehensive solution designed to help Vietnamese manufacturers build resilient, sustainable, and efficient supply chains.
Beyond Traditional Supplier Relationship Management
"Traditional QCD (Quality, Cost, Delivery) metrics served businesses well in the past, but today's complex business environment demands a more comprehensive approach," explains Mr Ryohei Oda, Managing Director of ABeam Consulting Vietnam. "Our BSQCD Purchasing Strategy framework adds crucial elements of Business Continuity Planning and Sustainability to create a complete supplier relationship management solution."
The BSQCD Purchasing Strategy framework represents:
A Strategic Response to Vietnam's Market Challenges
Vietnam's manufacturing sector faces unique challenges:
"The BSQCD Purchasing Strategy framework is particularly relevant for Vietnam's manufacturing sector," notes by Mr Yoshihiro Wake, Lead of TEF and, Supply Chain Practice Lead at ABeam Consulting Vietnam. "It helps companies address supply chain risks, meet sustainability demands, and optimize operational efficiency amid rising labor costs and global competition. By integrating BCP, sustainability, and QCD, manufacturers can enhance resilience, reduce costs, and remain competitive in a rapidly evolving market."
“In focus on S - Sustainability, At ABeam, we focus on solving social challenges and creating a sustainable impact, which is also important in Vietnam's growing market. We have to build eco-friendly supply chains and reduce carbon and GHG emissions. Therefore, GHG visualization is a key first step in GX. It’s important to see your GHG emissions, but you don’t need a complicated system at the start. Tools like Microsoft Office and low-code/no-code platforms can help you visualize emissions at a low cost.
Once you know how much GHG you are producing and which processes emit the most emissions, you can consider further actions, such as using more complex systems or implementing energy-efficient technologies.
To support this, we use a methodology called the 'GX Management Cycle,' starting with a clear plan. A strong plan is essential for promoting GX. Many companies are asked to pursue GX without making a plan. However, that doesn’t work. After we create a clear plan, we set priorities and follow the PDCA cycle to take action. That is our approach to sustainability in logistics."
A BSQCD long-term strategy requires development by backcasting from the future to the present after defining key issues and clarifying the ideal state. As a roadmap example, with "strengthening stakeholder responsiveness" established as a company-wide vision for 2030, milestones could be set such as "enhancing supplier information acquisition" and "information visualization" by 2024, and "supplier evaluation/selection" and "collaborative improvement activities" by 2026, establishing a path to the goal.
