Proctor & Gamble Remakes Its Global Supply Chains

  P&G is the world’s leading manufacturer of consumer products, but most customers do not really know the P&G brand. Does that matter, or should P&G brand more of their products under the P&G brand (instead of Bounty, Crest, Tide, and so on)? Considering P&G’s massive product portfolio and the company’s enormous size, what global supply chain efficiencies do you think P&G has that other companies cannot match given the size and scope of P&G? Given P&G’s focus on synergy and supplier partnerships, how many of P&G’s suppliers do you think should be labeled strategic, and how many should be considered just transactional relationships, and why?
