Opportunities for achieving points of differentiation in this difficult trading environment can be summarised under the following headings / Company operating principles.
Ethical Sourcing
TFCC is committed to Ethical Sourcing for all of its products and to this end will not source from factories in which decent minimum labour standards are not met. TFCC also regularly identifies areas for improvement in factory conditions and actively sponsors local management compliance. This principle above all others is central to TFCC’s activities and is not open to compromise.
Best Quality
Quite simply we must attain the highest quality possible throughout all our functional areas. This will enable us to supply our customers with a “value for money “ proposition supported by a highly professional and reliable sales and after sales service.
Mutuality
All parties with whom TFCC has dealings, suppliers and customers alike, must benefit from their association with the company if continued profitable business associations are to be maintained.
Efficiency
TFCC will focus daily on the efficient and effective uses of all company resources, including people and time. Capitalising on economies of scale, effective integration of companies, avoidance of duplication of effort and/or resources, eliminating unproductive costs and efficient implementation of CRM tools will all help to create and maintain the competitive advantage required to win in this market.
Responsible
All employees are empowered within their respective roles and also held accountable for their actions. Within the wider company context each employee also has a responsibility to assist co-workers in carrying out their function, thus enabling an effective cross-functional company structure.
In order to succeed in either market as a predominantly “Own Label” supplier we must add value to our product offering. We will only be viewed as a preferred supplier if we focus our efforts on Customer Service. If we succeed in demonstrating our expertise in the areas of Innovation, Category Management, Supply-chain Management, Quality Control and Back-office efficiency we will achieve our goal through the creation of a very powerful brand known as TFCC.
