Business Process Mutualization in supply chain management involves consolidating and sharing supply chain processes and services across various departments or business units within an organization to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve overall performance. By standardizing procurement, logistics, and inventory management procedures, and centralizing these operations, companies can minimize redundancies, achieve economies of scale, and ensure consistent quality across the supply chain. This strategic approach requires careful planning and effective change management to address potential challenges like integration issues and cultural resistance,
ultimately leading to a more agile, responsive, and cost-effective supply chain.
