What are the Key Supply Chain Megatrends that will impact Supply Chain and Logistics professionals?

We provide some answers on this dedicated Megatrends web page.


 

What is a "Supply Chain Megatrend?"

It is beyond a short term Supply Chain Trend. A Supply Chain Megatrend is a power force that will shape the supply chain and logistics decisions of many companies over the next few years, impacting strategy, organization, business results and more.

Supply Chain Digest has identified 10 of these Megatrends. You'll find the complete list to the right.

Throughout 2008 and beyond, we will cover each of our 10 Megatrends in detail, featuring excellent Video discussions in sequence on each Megatrend, featuring SCDigest Editor Dan Gilmore, SCDigest Contributing Editor Gene Tyndall, and Chad Collins, VP of Global Strategy at HighJump Software.

You'll also be able to download an excellent two-page Executive Brief on each Supply Chain Megatrend as well.

Each video and Executive Brief will become available over the next few months. Continue to check back to see details on the latest Megatrend!

The Integrated Supply Chain Organization

Long the vision, companies increasingly are integrating and often centralizing the
supply chain organization under a single executive – the Chief Supply Chain Officer.

The issue is complex, however, and companies should remember that organization should follow strategy.

Some 26% of the Fortune 125 have integrated global supply chain organizations, but the number is rising, especially in certain industries.

The issue is more complicated than might be apparent at first. At what level do you integrate? What functions, what business units, what geographies?

IBM says you need to "look left and look right," but still battles "local optimization" even in an integrated organization.

We cover all this and more in our Video Overview and Downloadable Executive Brief.
