    * If you can't speak to how you calculated a certain number on your resume, leave it out. Better safe than sorry. 2) Size Matters - Every supply chain is different, especially in size, scope and complexity. Likewise, every supply chain job is different, in size, scope and complexity. As a Supply Chain Recruiter, I'm not just looking for someone that meets the basic and preferred qualifications contained within the job profile I'm recruiting against. * To play it safe, be sure to include this critical information in your resume. 3) Top & Bottom Lines - We absolutely love to read how you've improved service levels while lowering costs for your employers or customers. Positively impacting the bottom line is typically a top focus for supply chain professionals. We also love to read about the things you've done to help improve the top line of an organization. Enabling growth is just as important as cutting costs, and for many high-growth companies, it's even more important. Be sure to detail what you've done to improve both bottom and top line performance from a supply chain perspective, and don't forget to quantify your results. 4) End-to-End - It's very important these days to convey to Supply Chain Recruiters and Hiring Managers that you possess knowledge and/or experience that spans across multiple functions within the supply chain. This doesn't mean that you need to physically work in a different job within each and every department of your company's supply chain. Whether you choose to be a specialist within one area of the supply chain, such as Transportation for example, or a generalist is totally up to you.

supplychain talent career

shared by ISM Silicon Valley on 26 Oct 10 - Cached
  • The United States is saddled with a high unemployment rate and many experienced people are seeking jobs right now. Even so, companies will confront a serious shortage of supply chain talent, warns the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Center for Transportation and Logistics in a white paper titled "Are You Prepared for the Supply Chain Talent Crisis?"
  • The supply chain talent shortage will stem from a combination of layoffs and a changing skill set needed for the job. Companies that shed staff during the depth of the economic downturn may soon need to rehire practitioners, some of whom will have found work in other areas or at competing firms, analysts wrote.
  • The report notes that finding qualified individuals remains challenging, even though the supply of candidates has grown due to the increase in more specialized supply chain management programs at colleges and universities. One way to help address the talent shortage, the report's authors suggest, would be to raise the level of awareness of the profession in order to encourage more young people to enter the field.

  • This headline-grabbing story gives you some idea of how important purchasing can be. Buying right doesn’t necessarily mean buying cheapest. However, dollars saved by adroit purchasing add to the bottom line the same as profit on sales. Some entrepreneurs find purchasing a tedious chore and often overpay. Many will delegate these jobs to someone else—perhaps a person with little enthusiasm for the job he may think that to negotiate a better price is a Middle Eastern bazaar-like custom.

Innovation bestpractices

shared by ISM Silicon Valley on 04 Oct 10 - Cached
  • Solving the problem doesn't go far enough. Sustainable — transformative — innovation emerges from the ability to collaboratively explore alternative approaches. Watt, Carrier, and Intel didn't achieve their breakthroughs by solving problems for their strategic clients; success came from testing approaches with their clients. Whether business historians acknowledge it or not, that's equally true for Henry Ford, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs.
  • As the saying goes, the one thing history teaches is that we don't learn from history. Just because business history short shrifts the customer and client contribution to innovation success doesn't mean businesses should. If you want to become a more innovative organization, don't hire more innovative employees, acquire more innovative customers. Your capacity to innovate matters less than your customers' and clients' willingness and ability to exploit it.

  • When I was a very young journalist, full of bravado and barely concealed insecurity, Ed Kosner, editor of Newsweek, hired me to do a job I wasn't sure I was capable of doing. Thrown into deep water, I had no choice but to swim. But I also knew he wouldn't let me drown. His confidence buoyed me.
  • The more leaders make us feel valued, in spite of our imperfections, the less energy we will spend asserting, defending and restoring our value, and the more energy we have available to create value.

  • The comprehensive yearly study on the economic strength and overall health of Silicon Valley reveals that rapid economic growth in other countries, coupled with California’s legislative gridlock, is draining the lifeblood of funding and foreign talent from Silicon Valley, leaving recovery in a "new phase of uncertainty."
