Disruptive trends continue to shift the business landscape and challenge longstanding operations. Disruptions come in many forms (natural disasters, raw material availability, factory and line down situations), but innovative and disruptive trends are often overlooked, in particular the share economy. The impact of these trends on supply chain and procurement is not the first to come to mind, however it is an integral part of evolving models to thrive in the future for the share economy. The share economy is projected at a pace to reach $3.5 billion this year[1]，提高对依赖分布式模型的趋势的重视或减轻趋势。该趋势是由Makerbot，Cohealo，Airbnb和Lyft等公司和服务传播，没有迹象，没有减速，说明这种模型的可行性。预测这种中断可以减轻这些趋势和地位供应链和采购策略在即将到来的规范中茁壮成长的曝光。

分享经济和破坏性的趋势是什么

The concept of the share economy is not revolutionary, but evolutionary in its application. Technology and the social space have fueled this notion of peer-to-peer economies, such as pay-per-use offerings of personal assets, services, and literally anything with the rest of the world. Kickstarter made "crowdsourcing" mainstream and exemplifies the share economy, sidestepping the need for banks or venture capital for seed money and relying on anyone willing to part with a few extra dollars.

Other examples include Lyft and AirBnB, where legions of people, likely with day jobs, use their own car or spare living space as an on-demand taxi service or rental. Both services provide mediums to connect folks without having to expend huge capitol for a fleet of cars or investing in real estate - that's already provided, by you.

Disruptive trends are just that, an upset of the status quo. In this context, the focus is on technology, products, and services that impact current supply chain and procurement activities.

Why is this disruptive and what does it have to do with Supply Chain and Procurement?

The share economy impacts traditional supply chain and procurement practices because of the reliance on the origin of goods and services in the value stream. It disrupts the current state activities because this brings a fragmented and distributed approach to models that traditionally work with scale economies and established manufacturing and supply centers. The speed and logistics which the goods and services are provided take just-in-time and on-demand to another level. The major concern for companies over the next few years is surprisingly not cost reduction, but getting products or services to market faster and improving customer service, up 13 and 15%, respectively over the next 5 years[2]。

Early adopters tend to be young adults, and the use of Lyft-like services is no big surprise. Car sales dropped 30% since 2007 for the age group 18 to 35[3]and ownership dropped 5% since 2001 for the age group 25 and younger[4]。这些服务颠覆了价值流的两端和公司拥有的公司的概念和消费的概念。他们允许任何人与自己的资产一起做，并再次脱离传统方法。

在另一个前面，使用Makerbot和Pirate3-D的3-D打印的出现（首次制作3-D打印和桌面形式的第一个制作和桌面形式）也可以改变景观。Pirate3-D在日常消费者的价格下提供这些价格，并简化了技术，以便非工程师可以在家中使用打印机。随着该技术加入主流，采购实践可能会改变对中国塑料和廉价注射成型的依赖于中国的诸如沉重和消费者行业的地方。该技术将使在本地生产物品更容易，而不是等待周数，以便在海外发送和制造。这允许在产品开发活动中更有可访问，简单，快速的原型设计。

在未来定位供应链和采购的考虑因素

Disruptive trends are difficult to anticipate, but evaluating a few key areas can help adapt and evolve supply chain and procurement models for the share economy.

Know Your Model

了解您的收入流和利润是对准供应和采购策略的基础。例如，COHEOLO通过加强卫生提供商的核心关注服务，从昂贵的设备中减轻高资本成本，通过加强卫生提供商的核心，分享股本经济原则。Cohealo帮助医院股票使用过的设备，创造更好的资产管理模型和增加的投资回报率。

Another key consideration is how volume comes into play, i.e. number of SKUs and inventory levels. Evaluating volatility and volume can provide insights to how supply chains can be fragmented into distributed models. For example, for high volume and stable items, it may make more since to keep established supply centers while fragmenting the lower volume, higher volatile items.

Evaluate How and Where You are Providing

股权依赖于分布式模型。回答的基本问题是本地化如何提供更快，更灵活的交付时间来更好地为客户服务。了解独特或高质量的制造过程有助于确定供应链和采购实践的情况，如果可能也可以分散。

Understand Demand

Significant drivers in the share economy are cost, experience, and expedience and evaluating how your products or services are more prone to be in the share economy are important considerations. PayPal and Square started out as peer-to-peer payment method, but now enhance purchase-to-pay, P2P cycles, in large and small business operations. Benefits can range from more analytics to faster cycle times.

In addition, the power of the share economy is the value of the network effect. Take a look at how this effect can benefit you or your consumers!
