What is supply chain excellence? In this powerpoint, we analyze and compare two methodologies--The Supply Chains to Admire by Supply Chain Insights and the Gartner Top 25. There is no perfect method: both give insights. Note the differences in industry sectors and the gap in business leader perceptions when compared to corporate performance.
Summary of the Supply Chains to Admire AnalysisLora Cecere
The Supply Chains to Admire analysis, now in its seventh year, is a data-driven methodology to analyze relative improvement and performance against sector peer groups. The data source is public balance sheet information for the period of 2010-2019. The analysis is for 440 public companies in 28 industry sectors. Only 4% of companies are outperforming their peer group while driving improvement at a faster rate than peers.
This document analyzes the impact of COVID-19 on global supply chains in manufacturing and automotive industries. It finds that just-in-time manufacturing, rigid supply lines, lack of transparency, and manual management exacerbated issues. The pandemic disrupted supply chains through reduced productivity, demand drops, material shortages, and restrictions. This negatively impacted both sectors by pushing back volumes and threatening smaller suppliers. The document recommends rebuilding supply chains through regionalization, transparency, digitization, risk management, and developing resilient frameworks like Viable and Circular Supply Chains to prepare for future crises. It also suggests India can leverage initiatives to attract companies seeking alternatives to China.
This document summarizes key points from Broadwind's Q3 2015 earnings conference call:
- Broadwind discussed challenges in ramping up full tower production capacity and solutions being implemented around procurement processes and capital investments.
- The wind market continues to be driven by a large pipeline of projects under construction, particularly in Texas and the Midwest.
- Tower orders and backlog were down compared to Q3 2014 but are expected to increase in Q4 2015 with significant order announcements.
- Financial results showed declines in revenue and margins compared to Q3 2014 due to unfavorable tower mix. Liquidity improved with declining working capital and inventory levels projected to decrease further.

The document discusses the top concerns of apparel companies regarding global sourcing. It finds that the top three concerns are (1) the price of raw materials, (2) wage rates, and (3) customs logistics issues. To address these concerns and remain competitive, companies need to pursue more cost-saving opportunities such as exploring new sourcing countries and partners, increasing value-added services from suppliers, and improving supply chain efficiency. New technologies also need to be leveraged to gain better visibility and control over increasingly complex global supply chains.
The document summarizes a report by PricewaterhouseCoopers on China's impact on the global semiconductor industry. Some key findings from the report include:

Digital Supply Chain - Insights on Driving the Digital Supply Chain Transform...Lora Cecere
Executive Summary
It started with the internet, and the drum beat continues. Mobile. Social. Cloud. Digital Products. Telematics. The Internet of Things. The list of enablers is endless.
Over the last decade, digital marketing departments quickly took advantage of new technologies to power marketing capabilities. As a result, companies have new products and services; but, over the last decade there has been little change in supply chain processes.
There is a great divide in organizations today. There are digital teams in marketing while there are traditional supply chain processes in operations. Many supply chain leaders are asking how they digitize their supply chain practices. This report is designed to help. Here we share a five-step process to get started, and we provide insights from recent research on how to transform manufacturing processes.
What Is Digital Business?
Digitization transforms businesses. A digital business model uses new forms of technology to create new forms of revenue and business value. It is about the use of combinations of technologies to sense changes in real-time and shape a meaningful output.
Digital business is about much, much more than the redefinition of business processes for B2B and B2C. While e-business strategies are foundational, and necessary, it is about more than e-business. In today’s supply chain, while B2C models are well defined and new supply chain models have embraced and redefined e-commerce delivery, B2B processes lag B2C. Today, only 9% of B2B commerce business flows through business networks. There are no digital B2B officers. Companies have been slow to adopt new forms of B2B.
Presentation for the Upcoming Llamasoft Event Summercon. Looking forward to discussing the evolution of value networks and the use of network design technologies at this event on June 20th in Ann Arbor, MI.

- The company reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2009
- Net sales decreased 28% quarter-over-quarter and 30% year-over-year due to weak demand across all markets
- Gross margin declined to 4.2% from 6.2% due to lower sales and restructuring charges of $128.8 million
- The company announced a restructuring plan to reduce costs through lower depreciation and employee expenses with expected annual savings of $230-260 million to be realized within 2-3 quarters
Evaluating Industry Performance in Supply Chain MetricsLora Cecere
Most industries are stuck and going backwards at the intersection of #supplychain metrics. After you review this presentation, ask yourself, "Do we have best practices?" Or, do we have "traditional processes" requiring rethinking?
The 2008 annual report summarizes Agilent's strong financial performance in fiscal year 2008, with 7% revenue growth to $5.8 billion and increases in operating profit, earnings per share, and return on invested capital. It also discusses Agilent's proactive response to the economic slowdown in the second half of 2008 through cost controls and investment in innovative measurement solutions. The report outlines Agilent's leadership in electronic and bio-analytical measurement and strategy to focus on growth areas like life science, while managing declines in manufacturing test markets during the economic downturn.
Supply Chain Metrics That Matter-A Focus on Semiconductor CompaniesLora Cecere
In this report, we share insights on 31 companies in the Semiconductor industry. This industry is the primary raw material provider and driver of innovation in the technology value network. Within the industry, there are three primary shifts defining the market:
1) Advanced analytics are pushing advancement in semiconductor manufacturing
2) New mobility trends are diversifying demand for automotive semiconductors
3) Security issues represent the greatest obstacle to growth of the Internet of Things, and semiconductor companies are helping address the issue
Within the technology value network, the story is survival. Price compression, technology advancement, and short product life cycles transformed supply chains. Most scrambled to keep up.
Due to the degree of change, some of the most advanced supply chain practices within any industry are in the technology value network. Despite the scramble to drive change and improve value, year-over-year change in this maturing value chain is a sea of red. In Table 1, the top number within each cell represents the average during the 2010 through 2016 time period, and the bottom number represents the percentage change in 2016 as compared to the value in 2010. So, the average growth in the Semiconductor industry was 14%, but the net change comparing the growth of 2010 to 2016 was a sharp decline of 23%.
This report finds that companies continue to look to the public cloud for more and more of their IT workload. Nearly 8 of 10 surveyed stated they intend on operating a hybrid cloud. The top concern with this rapid progression to multiple clouds is the ability to manage IT and cloud costs. However, most of those surveyed admitted they don’t do a good job of tracking or managing costs.
In October 2015, Sumerian, commissioned leading research house Populus to gain further insight into the current enterprise IT and capacity planning landscape, and discover emerging trends for the year ahead. This slideshare further covers the result of the Sumerian Think Tank which acted as a discussion forum for the results.

Selas Turkiye Cloud Computing Survey It Spending Heavily By Relia CloudZiya NISANOGLU
A survey of 150 IT executives found:
- 75% said cloud computing was a priority for their company
- 95% believe cloud computing will significantly impact how IT services are provided
- 55% estimated 40-80% of their IT services will be delivered through cloud computing
Often dubbed as the ‘change agents’ for an organisation, CIOs today are entrusted with the most important task of leveraging technology for a company’s success. Right technology implementation is the nub for accelerating the profitability of an organisation.
With the advent of digital transformation, CIOs are curating their technology roadmap and leaving no stone unturned to check the tech trends and ride on the latest technology bandwagon.
According to Gartner CIO agenda survey, about 51% CIOs are taking charge of innovation and 49% are heading digital transformation. Large scale digital transformations take 3-5 years on average to yield significant results.
Business expense automation is one of the most crucial areas of digital transformation. About 95% of companies have standardized processes, but still organizations are losing huge amount of money owing to frauds.
The need of the hour is one such solution that promises to provide a lot of benefits for minimal cost. At the same time, since the traditional methods have been working well for decades, why would businesses move away from such established systems and opt for automated expense management?

Automotive-OES companies face challenges in scaling digital innovations. While 60% of companies attempt to scale proofs-of-concept, less than 20% do so successfully. Champions scale more than 50% of proofs-of-concept and achieve higher returns on digital investments than other companies. However, contenders and cadets struggle with challenges like securing board funding, aligning management, and developing skills. Failure to address these challenges could result in lost growth opportunities.
01. The survey found that 92% of respondents have plans to expand the scope of shared services centers by adding new functions like R&D, engineering, quality, and customer service. Many are also looking to offer more services like analytics and automation.
02. While cost reduction was traditionally the main benefit, respondents now see quality, accuracy, and digital transformation as the top value drivers from leveraging shared services.
03. 97% of respondents believe shared services is best placed to drive enterprise-wide digitalization and automation efforts after centralizing and standardizing processes.
These research slides—based on the webinar from leading IT research firm Enterprise Management Associates—highlight the essential findings of EM’s research on application delivery infrastructure. The insights provided are based on a survey of 253 subject matter experts from enterprises and cloud providers.
This survey was conducted in January 2016 among 400 U.S. facility leaders in establishments including data centers, commercial and industrial buildings, retail, healthcare, education, government and other building environments. Respondents have responsibility related to purchasing energy and technology solutions, and their biggest responsibilities included facility management and operations management. Facility managers are increasingly adapting their building maintenance strategies in response to the Internet of Things (IoT).
The document discusses best practices for scaling digital innovation from pilots to drive growth. It finds that while over 60% of companies scale pilots, less than 20% do so successfully. The top 15% of companies ("Champions") manage scaling differently by following four best practices: 1) defining value to guide efforts; 2) blending organizational change with initiatives; 3) building in-house innovation factories; and 4) mapping enablers to functions. Champions achieve over 4 times the returns of other companies. The document provides a roadmap for organizations to mature towards successfully scaling innovation by leveraging five organizational levers.

6. WHY COMPANIES CHOOSE TO COLOCATE
What factors most influenced your decision to colocate your data infrastructure?
Multiple selections were allowed
67% - Improve Availability/Reliability
49% - Improve Operational Efficiency/Performance
45% - Reduce/Eliminate Costs
39% - Scalability (Exponential Growth)
36% - Risk Mitigation
19% - Compliancy/Regulatory Requirements
Analysis: Improved performance, reliability and security at a lower cost dominated the responses of
participants. Colocating allows companies to achieve the benefits of redundant layers of security,
connectivity, and failover at a much lower cost than building their own data center.

7. DID WE MENTION REDUCED COSTS?
69% of Respondents Expect a Return on Their Colocation Investment
• Of those, 24% Expect to See an ROI Within 6 Months
• 40% in 12 months
• 29% in 2 Years
• 7% in 5 Years
Analysis: Brick and mortar investments, such as building a data center rarely have a measurable ROI.
Capital expenses for colocating are significantly lower than building a datacenter. When colocating,
companies may see an ROI in the form of increased uptime by using a more reliable solution, increased
client retention due to a higher quality of experience, eliminated expenses to build a data center, etc.
Colocation providers should proactively consult with their clients to understand the clients’ objectives for
colocating and to help them set achievable expectations with regards to cost savings and increased
revenues. For most companies, a 6-month ROI will be hard to measure and achieve.

8. 14% – LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP OKAY
What is the distance between your colocation facility and your office?
Distance Between Office
and Colo Facility Analysis: The majority of companies
want their colocation facility to be
within an hour’s drive of their offices.
This reduces travel costs, allows
companies more flexibility and
60% control, and provides IT personnel
<$10M peace of mind.

2008 Colocation Industry Trends Survey
10. DISASTER RECOVERY AND COLOCATION
Does your company have a strategic plan to provide disaster recovery / business
continuance in the case of an unforeseen emergency?
70% - Yes
Only 46% of respondents have a budget for DR
Types of Disaster Recovery Used
29% - Failover in a Different Geographic Area
12% - Intra-datacenter Failover Readiness
11% - High Availability and Failover in a
Virtualized Server Environment
10% - Used All of the Above
30% - Used Other DR Solutions or Unsure
Analysis: CEOs, CIOs, IT Directors and IT personnel agree that downtime often creates lost revenues.
Subsequently, companies have adopted “DR Plans” but often fail to appropriate adequate funding to
support those plans. Colocation providers that have geographically dispersed datacenters and provide
virtualized solutions may close this gap for companies that state they have or need a DR plan and their
ability to fund the plan.

12. VIRTUALIZATION IMPACT
To what extent do you believe virtualized solutions will reduce your
current data center space requirements in the next 24 months?
8% Expect a 10% Reduction
13% Expect a 25% reduction
14% Expect a 50% reduction
8% Expect a 75% reduction
21% Expect No Reduction
37% Were Unsure
Analysis: Increasingly, virtualization manufacturers and colocation providers target companies that
colocate their infrastructure for virtualized solutions. Only 40% of respondents foresee virtualization
having an impact on their datacenter space requirements, 21% expect no reduction and 37% are unsure.
Two major obstacles remain for virtualization providers; one, many individuals must be convinced that
virtualization can bring value (21%) and two, educating consumers that are unfamiliar with the benefits
of virtualization (37%) is still necessary.
2008 Colocation Industry Trends Survey
13. DOES “GREEN” MATTER?
Does your colocation provider invest in green
initiatives to reduce it’s carbon footprint?
29% Yes
55% Unsure
Does a colocation provider’s green initiatives
positively influence your decision to use them as a
colocation provider?
46% Yes
54% No
Analysis: It is estimated that data centers use 1.5% of all power consumed in the US. It is imperative that
they take the lead in reducing their carbon footprint with high-efficiency servers, optimized
power/cooling solutions, using alternative energy sources, green building practices, etc. The ability to
positively impact 46% of your prospects and clients through green initiatives is significant.
However, while colocation providers may see increased revenues and brand loyalty as a result of green
initiatives, but neither should be a catalyst for adopting practices to reduce their carbon emissions.

17. ANALYSIS
Bandwidth, Security and Redundancy are the three most important factors for most
companies when choosing a colocation provider. These items are also the most cost
prohibitive for companies building their own data centers. 100% of respondents
listed a combination of two of these three items in their top three considerations.
In addition, colocation providers with multiple data centers can more easily provide
cost effective solutions to provide higher levels of redundancy, geographic
failover, and bandwidth routing optimization.
Increasingly, colocation clients and prospects are interested in managed services
provided by colocation providers. This is a change from traditional colocation clients
that did not want anyone to touch their infrastructure. Small and medium
businesses choosing to colocate are looking to reduce costs and the management of
the technology that allows them to accomplish their business objectives.
Respondents rate “Remote Hands as a Service” as the most valuable service option
offered by colocation providers.
