Greening the Manufacturing Supply Chain, Part 2 - 0 views

  •  
    "Back to supply chains (although if you are a builder of commercial space then Interface is probably in your supply chain). A recent Environmental Leader article discussed a survey of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) regarding their attitudes towards suppliers (supply chain) that do not manage their carbon. These are real companies in the survey (like PepsiCo, Dell, Google, IBM, Kellogg, HP and Unilever.) The results are enlightening. Over 1000 suppliers to these companies were surveyed. Survey reported that 38% of the supply chain respondents have some type of carbon reduction targets in place. Of these respondents, almost two thirds report Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission. Scope 3 emissions are reported by 8%. Strikingly, 56% of the CDP members (remember the big companies listed above?) say that they may eliminate suppliers who don't manage carbon."

GPOs improve transparency, codes of conduct - 1 views

  • 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

Global Manufacturing Outlook: Relationships, Risk and Reach - 0 views

  • 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.

Global Trade Management - 0 views

  • 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.

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.

Slightly more than a third (35%) say that such agreements and policies are bad for the country, down from 48% in April 2008.

    In an April 1-5 survey by CBS News/New York Times, 66% said "that trade with other countries - both buying and selling products" is good for the U.S. economy. Fewer (58%) expressed that view in March 2008.
