    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.

Supply chain talent shortage looms - 0 views

  • 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.
