  • In 2002, questions were raised about the ethical nature of group purchasing organizations (GPOs) after it was found that they were taking part in anticompetitive business practices, including excessively high contract fees. However, a review conducted by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) shows improved transparency within the system.
  • Within the current review, GPOs reported that they received contract administrative fees that ranged from 0.09 percent to 10 percent of the product's purchasing price. Two of the GPOs reported that contract administrative fees in 2008 were over 3 percent of the purchasing price. Combined, the six GPOs collected $1.7 billion in contract administrative fees in 2008 and $320 million in other revenue. Additionally, 53 percent of GPOs' total revenue was distributed in 2008, which totaled about $1.1 billion

    * 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.

Currently, 44% say that free trade agreements like NAFTA and the policies of the World Trade Organization are good for the country, up from 35% a year ago. Slightly more than a third (35%) say that such agreements and policies are bad for the country, down from 48% in April 2008.

    "A growing focus on sustainable supply chain management over the past few years has proven to be a big cost savings opportunity for many businesses. With traditional procurement strategies primarily focused on cost savings through vendor reduction, leverage spend, inventorsikry reductions, transaction efficiencies, a shifting sustainability mindset is elevating supply chain thinking. More strategically focused organizations are evaluating business sustainability risks that extend beyond the walls of the company. "

  • Business attitudes across the globe — jarred by the European sovereign debt crisis, sagging consumer confidence and continuing market fluctuations — are vacillating between confidence and caution, and volatility is likely to remain a permanent feature of the global business environment. While the financial crisis revealed key vulnerabilities of an interconnected global economy, it has also provided a needed catalyst in helping organizations create more dynamic, resilient and responsive supply chains to. A clear majority of leading industrial companies still see cost as their main priority while managing supply chains, despite emerging evidence that excessive focus on cost has damaged relationships. A majority of the leading industrial manufacturing companies have created supply chain models that appropriately balance agility, sensitivity to risk, quality and cost. They plan to enter into more long-term contracts with fewer suppliers — with cost being the key driver for much of the collaboration. Read our report to find out how leading companies are adapting their business models and employing new supply chain tactics to manage risk while capitalizing on opportunities.

  • 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.

  • The Supply Chain Management Center at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business is bringing together top industry and government leaders to address inefficiencies in today's supply chain and come up with innovative ways to manage risk. The center spearheaded a recently released book, "X-Treme Supply Chain Management: A Guide to Mastering Business Volatility," and yesterday hosted an executive roundtable discussion among senior government and business leaders on the implications of the global economic crisis for supply chain management.
  • Edited by Boyson, center co-director Professor Thomas Corsi and senior fellow Lisa Harrington, the book is a collaboration with CSCMP and co-contributors from some of the industry's leading corporations and organizations. The book also includes a companion tool kit, developed by Smith's Supply Chain Management Center and Interactive Learning Solutions Inc., that provides practitioners with simulations and spreadsheets to manage volatility in their supply chains. Sterling Commerce, an IBM company, is the project's technology sponsor and a co-contributor. Published by Routledge, the book was introduced on the West Coast last week at CSCMP's annual global conference in San Diego.

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.

Carbon Footprinting Your Supply Chain for Bigger Profits - 0 views

  • In part one of this article, (here) I laid out the business case for carbon foot-printing your supply network. Part two identifies practical steps of where to begin, followed by suggestions to ensure lasting success.
  • Start by recognizing and measuring the environmental areas (such as GHG / carbon emissions, energy use, waste and water consumption, and use of other natural resources) to get a baseline. This can be done internally or by working with a third party partner or specialized sustainability consulting firm on an environmental and/or carbon footprint assessment. I have seen many organizations set up internal "Green Teams" or eco-working groups to begin looking at measuring their company's carbon footprint. The most important part of this process is engaging both your employees as well as your suppliers. Carbon management is a team effort. It takes collaboration, transparent communication, and a willingness to see the greater benefits for everyone involved.
