    Moving forward, as consumers and shareholders both demand transparency and ask for more accountable businesses, sustainability within the supply chain will evolve from just "greenwashing" to become the foundation of great business. "Today, sustainability has replaced cost, value and speed as the dominant topic of discussion among purchasing and supply professionals," asserts the authors of one Oracle white paper. In 2007, Mattel spent $110 million on product recalls and saw its share price drop 5. 8 percent in just two months after its Tier 2 Suppliers used unsafe levels of lead paint in Mattel toys. "Even though Mattel has excellent supply chain management, one slip-up cost them in terms of reputation loss," says Diane Osgood, Ph. D. and founder of Osgood Sustainability Consulting. "Better transparency could have saved them.

  • balance between efficiency and resilience is the key trade-off faced by supply chain managers, according to a recent research paper from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the business-to-business arm of analyst firm The Economist Group. Based on interviews with supply chain executives from Whirlpool Corp., Coca-Cola Co., Home Depot, Inc. and other companies, the paper highlights supply chain problems in the aftermath of the extraordinary swings in demand over the past two years.
  • According to a major IBM survey this summer, more than half of global business leaders believe their enterprises are not adequately prepared to handle a highly volatile, increasingly complex business environment. Based on a survey of 1,500 chief executives from 60 countries and 33 industries worldwide, IBM found that while eight in 10 CEOs expect the global business environment to grow significantly more complex, only 49 percent believe their organizations are equipped to deal with it successfully — the largest leadership challenge identified in IBM's eight years of research.
  • "[N]ow is the time for companies to reassess supply chain processes to ensure that progress towards efficiency does not boost the potential for failure in the face of economic, operational or environmental disruptions," EIU concludes.

  • Companies across industries are adjusting to volatile market conditions and reduced demand, leading executives to focus on cost reduction. The procurement and supply chain function serves as a key lever for improved cost performance, and many companies have launched initiatives focused on cost optimization.
  • Look Beyond Strategic Sourcing Companies often focus their efforts simply on strategic sourcing, but strategic sourcing alone cannot drive sustainable benefits. A limited focus on strategic sourcing may initially reduce costs for the buyer, but it may not ensure long-term realization of those benefits. More importantly, if executed in a manner where cost is the only focus, strategic sourcing can result in damage to a supplier relationship that may become critical in times of supply constraints. Instead, the focus should be on enhancing long-term value obtained from suppliers rather than on simply finding the lowest price.

  • The unmanageable and manageable categories are, large complex supply chains having hundreds of unexpected events occuring every day, generating the need to trigger hundreds of re-planning cycles to maintain a constant balance between demand and supply.

  • Between August and September 2010, Aberdeen, a Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE: HHS), surveyed 136 companies documenting their processes and capabilities regarding Global Trade Management. The Aberdeen Group report, Global Trade Management: Strategies for Mastering Trade Compliance and Supply Chain Complexity, reveals that trade compliance teams are actively revamping and augmenting their Global Trade Management (GTM) and specifically their Global Trade Compliance (GTC) programs to stay current with supply and demand fluctuations, growing global operations, increasing operational complexity and risk, and trade lane changes.
  • "There is no silver bullet for a successful GTM/GTC program -- it is a combination of excellence in the areas of access, enablement internally and externally, process/technology, and proactive planning and execution. When these things are aligned, in proper combination, they yield superior results," explained Bob Heaney, Senior Research Analyst of Supply Chain Management at Aberdeen.

  • In the wake of constant demand and supply market changes driven by recent economic crises, procurement and supply chain professionals are facing higher expectations from management to drive down costs. But a myopic focus on cost savings can have an impact on supply and supplier risk, and can result in the unintended consequence of diluting the total value delivered from that supplier relationship. The key, therefore, is to balance supplier risk with reward to obtain the greatest benefit from suppliers while minimizing risks.
