UK suppliers know they need to maintain high levels of quality and delivery. But from a 10-20 year perspective, what are the key strategic assets they need to develop -- such as management capability, access to new technology, sub-tier supply chain management . . . -- and how should they set about doing so, if they want to play their part in the supply chains of the future?
