State of Transportation: Where Are We on the Vision of Automation? - 7 NOV 2012
For the purpose of this report, transportation management is defined as technologies that automate and improve decision making in domestic and international logistics.
This report is based on a quantitative study conducted between August 16th, 2012 and October 9th, 2012. The summary reflects responses from 75 respondents from 55 companies active in transportation freight decisions. The goal of the study was to understand how business complexity and maturity have affected the deployment and development of supply chain technologies to improve transportation management. The study contrasts the views of line-of-business transportation solution users and providers of the technologies.
The quantitative study results are enriched with insights from Supply Chain Insights’ work on supply chain ratios and interviews with business leaders to validate and clarify the results.
Integrated Demand Management-When Will We Start Using Downstream Data-7 Nov 2012
For the purposes of this report, downstream data is defined as data that originates downstream on the demand side of the value chain. It can include point-of-sale data, T-log data, distributor data, social and unstructured data sources, retail withdrawal data and retail forecasts. Integrated demand signal management is the use of this data in a more holistic and integrated demand management process.
The use of channel data is evolving and this report is designed to give the industry an update on progress. Data for this report is based on two inputs: quantitative survey data from twenty-nine respondents (manufacturers) that use downstream data for integrated demand signal management, and qualitative input from attendees at an Integrated Demand Signal Management event that was attended by eleven manufacturers and four retailers. Data was collected in the fall of 2012.
While the study demographic is a small number, the respondents represent an experienced panel group. In the study, 90% of the respondents were using downstream data. The average time of usage is four years.
Big Data Handbook - 8 Juy 2013
The use of new forms of data is not an evolution. Instead, powering big data supply chains, and innovating through new forms of analytics, is a step change.
New forms of data do not fit traditional architectures. Traditional supply chains were architected to use structured data with software using relational databases. The big data era will make many of the investments from the last decade obsolete.
Big data offers the opportunity to redefine supply chain processes from the outside-in (from the channel back) and define the customer-centric supply chain. This is in stark contrast to the inflexible IT investments installed over the last decade to respond inside-out based on order shipments. These traditional investments in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Advanced Planning Systems (APS) and traditional Business Intelligence (BI) for reporting, improved the supply chain response, but did not allow the organization to sense, shape or orchestrate outside-in. New forms of data (e.g., images, social data, sensor transmission, input from global positioning systems (GPS), the Internet of Things, and unstructured text from email, blogs and ratings and reviews) offer new opportunities. They also require new techniques and technologies.
Big data offers new opportunities for the corporation to listen, test and learn, and respond faster. In this study, companies see the greatest opportunity to use big data for “demand” (to better know the customer and improve the response); however, actual investments are in “supply” not “demand.” Respondents view supply-centric projects like product traceability (involving product serialization and traceability), supply chain visibility and temperature controlled handling as important.
Is big data a problem or a new market opportunity? Like the respondents of this survey, we believe that big data represents an opportunity for all. In the study, one-fourth of respondents currently have a big data initiative. However, interest is growing. Sixty-five percent have or plan to have a big data initiative in the future. Despite the hype, and the intensity of marketing rhetoric in the market, in our year-over-year studies on big data we see very little change in activity.
Despite the fact that the IT group is more likely to see big data as a problem, 49% of those with a big data initiative report that it is headed by an IT leader.
Big data represents a new opportunity, but seizing it requires a new form of leadership. It can ignite new business models and drive channel opportunities. However, it cannot be big data for big data itself. Instead, the initiatives need to be aligned to business objectives with a focus on small and iterative projects. It requires innovation. To move forward, companies need to embrace new technologies and redesign processes. It is not the case of stuffing new forms of data into old processes.
Big Data and Analytics: The New Underpinning for Supply Chain Success? - 17 F...
Executive Overview
Today data is everywhere: but, nowhere. The world’s per capita capacity to store information has doubled every 40 months since the 1980s; and as of 2012, every day globally, 2.5 exabytes of data are created . As a result, social and customer data piles on the doorstep of the corporation, and operational data sits in the creases and cracks between functions. While many companies invested in data warehouse technologies and advanced applications for optimization, a common complaint in qualitative interviews with business leaders is “I cannot get to my data.” One business leader likened it to a Hotel California where, “The data checks into the system, but does not check out.” In most companies with heterogeneous information technology landscapes, simple reporting is still a major problem.
In the face of growing data, companies struggle with the basics. The question is, “Why pursue a big data and analytics strategy if the company cannot do basis reporting?” No doubt about it, the current state of analytics is a barrier to building supply chain excellence. It is hard to have a data-driven discussion if you can’t get access to data.
EDI: Workhorse of the Value Chain - 10 FEB 2014
Executive Overview
The evolution of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) standards and the evolution of Business-To-Business (B2B) connectivity processes are now four decades old. Most executives see the progress as slow and expensive. They are frustrated. They question the value.
Companies want to power value networks. They want to connect with trading partners. They want to make the process both faster and easier. As a result, many are asking, “Does EDI use really matter? Is there value in the automation of B2B/EDI connectivity to power value networks?” Increasingly, companies are looking for the truth. This report attempts to answer these questions.
Companies want to build value networks and connect with trading partners. In our work with manufacturing clients, we see that nine out of ten companies want to build a more effective end-to-end value network. There is a growing understanding that the enterprise-centric endeavors over the last decade have plateaued, and that there are significant costs and waste improvements to be had with the building of effective connectivity for the extended supply chain.
However, most companies see EDI, and the exchange of documents through established protocols, as old- school processes. They are looking for “a better mousetrap.” In the last decade, many techniques evolved and they were overhyped. Early in the decade there were claims that XML was going to make EDI outdated.
Similarly, the use of business portals and business networks, sometimes termed trading partner exchanges, were touted as better ways of improving trading partner connectivity. The promise was lower cost, faster onboarding, and greater partner penetration. However, today EDI is the predominate method for B2B connectivity.
No company studied uses just one method for B2B connectivity. Connectivity between trading partners is usually a mix of portal, business network, and manual processes. While companies have invested in portals, trading exchanges, and automated business networks, the adoption is low. Portals are one-way communication. The use of portals is too passive and companies struggle to synchronize the many changes that occur in sales and purchase order processing through this passive form of connectivity. Likewise, the adoption of business networks in the establishment of B2B connectivity has been too slow. The networks require a mass of partners connected as a community, and this development has been too slow.
Among the EDI/XML users surveyed for this report, EDI is used nearly six times more frequently in the connection of trading partners than portals, and eight times more frequently than the use of business networks (e.g., trading exchanges or specialized industry hubs). We also find that the process of sales order management is more mature, and better automated, than those of procurement. EDI/XML is the workhorse of the extended supply chain.
Maturity in EDI/XML matters.
Analytics Strategies Study - 2017 Survey summary charts
Report Details: The research for this report was conducted via an online survey from October 24 – December 12, 2017. Surveys were conducted among a mix of business users (manufacturers, retailers, and wholesalers/distributors/co-operatives, n=56) and vendors (software providers, consultants, and third-party logistics providers, n=53), and others (academics, analysts, unemployed, and others, n=28). The analysis focuses primarily on users and vendors. All respondents were required to be at least a little familiar with analytics strategies.
Objective: To understand current analytics strategies and where companies are investing. NOTE: analytics strategies (technologies and tactics) include the Internet of Things (IoT), cognitive computing, Hadoop, Blockchain, data visualization, text mining, data lakes, software robots, unstructured data mining, sentiment analysis, and drones, etc.
Highlight: New forms of analytics offer great potential and opportunities. The greatest value will happen when companies consciously test and learn and redefine processes based on new capabilities. Core to this journey is the alignment of IT and business with a focus on value and business outcomes.

S&OP and Agility Study- Summary Charts - May 2013
Sales and Operations Planning processes are now in their fourth decade of maturity. The processes are growing more complex. Progress is slow. The infographic below shows the current state of the union of sales and operations into S&OP processes. In this world of uncertainty, good planning matters. Complexity and volatility are escalating. Improving S&OP in a systematic approach, focused on goal evolution and systemic process governance, makes a difference; but, it requires education. A barrier to improvement is the executive team not understanding the supply chain as a complex system. It is the goal of this report to help alleviate this problem.

How Do We Heal the Healthcare Value Chain? - 9 MAY 2013
Over the last decade, as shown in figure 1, the hospital supply chain has been one of the few that has improved operating margin, reduced inventory and improved revenue/employee. In contrast, the manufacturing suppliers to the hospital organization have grown inventories and struggled to preserve margins. Across the value chain from the patient to the raw material suppliers, total inventories have grown and costs have escalated. With pending regulations, hospitals are being forced to rethink processes, redefine value and work more holistically to improve sourcing practices. The suppliers to the hospital systems are having to rethink their systems to rethink the customer (from selling to the physician to selling to a more formal buying organization based on patient outcomes) and adapt to the new processes within the hospital for value analysis.
Supply chain processes within the hospitals have matured. Hospitals have made more progress on improving cash-to-cash cycles than their upstream manufacturing trading partners. They have reduced inventories and attempted to work with suppliers. As shown in figure 2, it is notable to see that this industry is one of the few where downstream trading partners have actually improved payable terms for their suppliers.
The future lies before the healthcare provider. As the provider of patient care, they have the greatest potential to lead in the healthcare value chain’s redesign to improve value. They have come a long way, but the changes have been incremental. They have focused primarily on traditional sourcing techniques; not a redesign of the healthcare value chain from the outside in, and the redefinition of complex and antiquated processes.
Big Data Report - 16 JULY 2012
For the supply chain leader, Big Data is a new concept. It is not one that is currently well understood. It will be overhyped and overpromised before the concepts reach mainstream adoption. However, it is here to stay. The goal of this report is to better educate and prepare the supply chain leader for this change. In this report, we define the concepts and share insights to help leaders better understand how Big Data concepts can help solve problems in today’s supply chain.

Research in Review - 2014
Executive Summary
No two supply chains are alike, but supply chain leaders across all industries face common challenges. The supply chain is becoming more strategic—an engine of growth and the driver of new business models—to drive new opportunities. For supply chain leaders, it is no longer just a discussion of cost and inventory management.
However, frustration abounds. Companies struggle to improve balance sheet results in the face of rising complexity and slowing growth. While all companies have improved revenue per employee, this efficiency improvement has not translated into operating margin improvements; and while cash-to-cash cycles have improved, it is not due to improvements in inventory positions. Most companies feel stuck, as if they are being held hostage by traditional supply chain practices.
Table 1. Industry Progress Across the Last Decade
In this report, we highlight the current state of supply chains—the supply chain organization, technologies, and process evolution—to enable supply chain leaders to take the next step in their strategy development. This report reflects the current state of supply chains, and is designed as a foundational document for supply chain leaders to build their 2015 strategies.
Understanding the Supply Chain Organization
Improving corporate performance is the driver of today’s supply chain organization. Increasingly, supply chain leaders are adopting new business models—ecommerce, digital business, and growth in new economies—to drive the top line.
Today, for the leader, it is about more than cost management. Instead, it is about the management of a portfolio of metrics to drive corporate performance. The supply chain is a complex system, with increasing complexity, and an increasing importance of driving balance sheet results. It is not easy. Improvement is hard work, and many are stuck. When we analyze financial balance sheet performance for the period of 2000-2013, we find that nine out of ten companies are stuck at the intersection of the two critical metrics of operating margin and inventory turns. Cash flow has been improved through elongating payables, and most companies are struggling to improve inventory in the face of complexity. This is an area of frustration and disappointment for business leaders who want to leverage supply chain technologies and processes to deliver both growth opportunities along with cash and cost savings to the organization.
The reason why? Today, the supply chain organization is traditional, tactical and cautious (see Figure 2). Most leaders would like to have a supply chain that is more agile and proactive. This is not possible with the current state of technologies and processes. To make the shift, companies need to reinvent the supply chain. The processes need to be redesigned outside-in with open sharing through business networks. These new forms of business networks, with many-to-many data models supported by canonical infrastructure, a
Building a Digital Supply Chain - report - 9 APR 2018
Report Details: This report is based on survey research, financial analysis, and discussions with manufacturers attempting to gain first-mover advantage.
Highlight: Digital innovation needs to be focused on ‘test and learn.’ The convergence of new technologies to redefine the atoms and electrons of the supply chain is quite promising, but there needs to be alignment. Read the report for nine insights on how to move forward.
Supply Chain Metrics That Matter: A Focus on Hospitals - 6 JAN 2013
Executive Overview
Growth is slowing. Profitability is tougher. Compliance mandates are growing. How do companies balance the goals for value-based outcomes for health and wellness with costs? In this environment, supply chain matters more than ever.
In this report, we share insights on healthcare supply chains. Grown out of the offices of procurement, the supply chain function of the hospital is still in its infancy; but based on increasing business requirements and complexity, it is only beginning to show its true potential.
Growth: Futures are Uncertain.
The hospital administrator is facing many challenges. Growth is slowing and pressures are growing. The question is how to balance patient outcomes with better cost management. How does a hospital move forward with an uncertain future? And, what will be the impact of healthcare reform?
In table 1, we list top line growth over the past decade for four companies operating within the hospital industry. While there are ups and downs, the general trend is downward.
What Drives Supply Chain Excellence? A Look Back and a Look Forward
This report is based on analysis of financial balance sheet and income statement data for the period of 2000-2012, quantitative survey research results, and interactions with clients in various industries in supply chain strategy sessions. We examine the performance of companies in a cross-section of industries on various metrics. We find that most companies and most industries are stuck in an environment of low results, with the exception of the hi-tech & electronics industry. Finally, we offer our perspective and advice on advancing supply chain excellence and moving the needle for better supply chain performance across company and industry lines.
Highlights
• A project-based approach has failed. Our gains are much lower than we believed in inventory management and a long-term perspective is needed to drive permanent and sustainable improvements.
• The hi-tech industry is the only of the six industries profiled to drive sustained gains across most metrics considered during the time period.
• The definition of supply chain excellence is still evolving as companies move through different maturity stages. Industrial and pharmaceutical companies are mainly stuck at low levels of maturity and could benefit greatly from applying lessons learned in other industries to their own supply chains.

Why Is Supply Chain Planning So Hard? 16 FEB 2016
RESEARCH OVERVIEW:
Details: The research for this report is based on five surveys fielded during the period of January 2014 – December 2015. The research was a progressive set of studies on supply chain planning. What are the barriers and what drives success. While the path to supply chain planning excellence is fraught with issues, the expected Return on Investment (ROI) for a successful supply chain planning project is nine months. In this report, we share insights on why supply chain planning is so difficult and how to maximize the ROI..
Objective of the report: To share insights with supply chain leaders on how to maximize the value from a supply chain planning implementation. The report shares insights on five barriers and then gives recommendations to overcome the barriers to maximize the ROI.
Highlights: While many approach supply chain planning as a technology project, successrequires companies to rethink how they make operational decisions and plan for future outcomes. The bigger issues in executing a supply chain planning project is how work is organized and how reward systems shape behavior.

How Can You Drive Opportunity If You Cannot Manage Risk?
25 July 2018
Report Details: The research for this report was conducted via an online survey from March 12 - May 11, 2018. Surveys were conducted among 93 respondents -- a mix of business users (manufacturers, wholesalers/distributors/co-operatives, and third-party logistics providers, n=34), vendors (software providers and consultants, n=39), and others (academics, analysts, unemployed, and others, n=20).
Objective: To understand the current and expected future state of supply chain risk management, the biggest drivers of risk, and the impact on supply chain disruptions. NOTE: supply chain risk management is defined as the proactive identification and assessment of potential risks to the supply chain, as well as the development of strategies to avoid these risks.
Highlight: Nearly two-thirds of respondents believe that their company performs better today on risk management practices than five years ago yet they had 3.5 disruptions last year on average. Managing risk requires a network approach. Today’s investments in end-to-end supply chain are by and large not effective in risk mitigation. Only 37% have visibility of extended-tier suppliers and most lack the solutions to manage global complexity.
Supply Chain Metrics That Matter: Third Party Logistics Providers-10 DEC 2013
Executive Overview
Third party logistics (3PL) providers fill a critical role in today’s global supply chains. With the rise in e-commerce, the growth of global markets, and the reshaping of the retail market, dependency on 3PLs is rising. It is an industry with fierce competition. Despite the promises of technology-driven differentiation, as of yet, no 3PL has successfully been able to differentiate and create significant brand loyalty. This is the market opportunity moving forward.
Today, companies on average send 30% of goods through third party logistics (3PL) providers. The 3PL market is now $148 billion in size with single-digit annual growth. Hit hard by the Great Recession, the industry is still in recovery. The 3PL industry has matured over the last 50 years; but it operates at a low margin, struggling to balance what we term The Effective Frontier.
The ongoing inability to drive resiliency on The Effective Frontier by managing tradeoffs of growth, profitability, cycle and complexity should be a concern for those working in, or working with, the 3PL industry. Comparable results from ten industries are shown in Table 1, ranked by average operating margin. 3PLs not only occupy the second lowest ranking, they have also seen the most significant drop in operating margin as a percentage since 2000. In this report, we look more closely at the current state of the industry.
Three Techniques to Improve Organizational Alignment-9 July 2013
When organizations are aligned, things happen quicker. It takes less effort. People know what to do, and there is a greater bias for action. As a result, the organization can achieve higher levels of results and better withstand the pressures of demand and supply volatility.
Line of business leaders lack alignment. While many consultants claim that business results happen through better IT and business alignment, in this study, we find that the gaps in functional alignment within the business functions of sales, marketing, finance, and supply chain are far greater than the gaps between IT and line of business.
As shown in figure 2, within the organization, demand and supply volatility reigns. It is growing worse. This pain is felt across the line of business functions. To weather the storm, functions attempt to align, but doing this is easier said than done. It requires work and leadership.
This misalignment is not equal by business function. Of the three groups in this survey—supply chain, finance and information technology (IT)—the supply chain organization feels the alignment issue to a greater degree than the other two business functions. As shown in figure 2, it is one of their top three business pains.
So, what can an organizational leader do to improve alignment? In this study, we find that when companies do three things, and focus on doing them well, they can substantially improve organizational alignment:
• Have a Clear Definition of Supply Chain Strategy. While many companies state that they want to be “agile,” it requires definition. Companies need to design a supply chain with this goal in mind. When the organization has a carefully crafted definition of agility, it is able to improve organizational alignment. The definition of “shorter cycles” is not sufficient.
• Sales and Operations Planning. Organizations with a mature S&OP process are more aligned. In this study, 61% of supply chain respondents report having an S&OP process, but 48% of that group rate their process as effective. For a more detailed analysis of S&OP, please refer to our report Sales and Operations Planning: Current State of the Union.
• Supply Chain Center of Excellence. Organizations with a supply chain center of excellence are more aligned. The greatest impacts are between marketing and finance, as well as operations and Corporate Social Responsibility.
The study shows that there is significant opportunity for organizations to improve on all three of these critical factors. The good news for supply chain leaders is that this study provides three clear actions that can deliver improved alignment.
In Search of Supply Chain Excellence - Report - 17 MAR 2016
Executive Summary
No two supply chains are alike. While business is changing quickly, the supply chain processes are evolving slowly. The average supply chain organization is 14-years old, and as is shown in Figure 2, one out of three companies state that there is room for improvement in their supply chain.

While companies desire a supply chain that is more aligned, fast, agile, and proactive, today the supply chain is controlled and becoming more global. In the building of today’s supply chain, as will be seen in this report, the tightly integrated IT infrastructure defined in the last two decades is an impediment to building an agile, proactive and aligned supply chain. In Figure 3 we contrast the current state of the supply chain with the desired state of supply chain leaders.
Figure 3. Supply Chain Descriptors: Current State versus Desired Operation
As shown in Figure 3, while supply chain leaders desire a more proactive, aligned and faster supply chain, these are areas for improvement. The current supply chain is controlled and global, but with significant opportunity for improvement. Ironically, despite the gaps in overall performance, many supply chain leaders term current practices as “best practices.” In this report we challenge the status quo. We do this by teasing out the data to understand business drivers. For example, in Table 1 we can see that a company which rates itself as “having a supply chain working well” is more likely to be in the process industry, and have a supply chain organization where manufacturing reports to the overall supply chain leader. In addition, within the organization there is a greater understanding of the supply chain by the executive leadership team, stronger alignment of metrics cross-functionally, stronger capabilities in supply chain visibility, and the organization is better at managing change. The companies that outperform are also better at accessing and using data.
It is also significant to note that we do not find a correlation between “working well” and the presence of a Supply Chain Center of Excellence, fewer ERP instances, or maturity in Sales and Operations planning. The reason? These processes and practices are evolving.
Sales & Operations Planning - The State of the Union - 10 June 2013
Sales and Operations Planning processes are now in their fourth decade of maturity. The processes are growing more complex. Progress is slow. The infographic below shows the current state of the union of sales and operations into S&OP processes. In this world of uncertainty, good planning matters. Complexity and volatility are escalating. Improving S&OP in a systematic approach, focused on goal evolution and systemic process governance, makes a difference; but, it requires education. A barrier to improvement is the executive team not understanding the supply chain as a complex system. It is the goal of this report to help alleviate this problem.
Healthcare Study - Feb-Apr 2013 - Healthcare Provider Summary Charts
How Do We Heal the Healthcare Value Chain?
Over the last decade, as shown in figure 1, the hospital supply chain has been one of the few that has improved operating margin, reduced inventory and improved revenue/employee. In contrast, the manufacturing suppliers to the hospital organization have grown inventories and struggled to preserve margins. Across the value chain from the patient to the raw material suppliers, total inventories have grown and costs have escalated. With pending regulations, hospitals are being forced to rethink processes, redefine value and work more holistically to improve sourcing practices. The suppliers to the hospital systems are having to rethink their systems to rethink the customer (from selling to the physician to selling to a more formal buying organization based on patient outcomes) and adapt to the new processes within the hospital for value analysis.
Supply chain processes within the hospitals have matured. Hospitals have made more progress on improving cash-to-cash cycles than their upstream manufacturing trading partners. They have reduced inventories and attempted to work with suppliers. As shown in figure 2, it is notable to see that this industry is one of the few where downstream trading partners have actually improved payable terms for their suppliers.
The future lies before the healthcare provider. As the provider of patient care, they have the greatest potential to lead in the healthcare value chain’s redesign to improve value. They have come a long way, but the changes have been incremental. They have focused primarily on traditional sourcing techniques; not a redesign of the healthcare value chain from the outside in, and the redefinition of complex and antiquated processes.
Digital Procure-To-Pay - report - 15 AUG 2017
• Report Details: The research for this report was primarily conducted via an online survey from August 1, 2016 - January 27, 2017. Surveys were conducted among a mix of manufacturers, retailers, and wholesalers/distributors/co-operatives (n=114), including a focus on those who use B2B methods to process purchase orders AND have/plan to have a program to support digital procure-to-pay processes (n=45).
• Objective: To identify the adoption levels of digital business-to-business (B2B) methods and determine the business benefits of digital procure-to-pay (P2P) processes.
• Highlight: Overall for companies with more advanced digital procure-to-pay initiatives, the benefits of the program are as follows: improved visibility, process accuracy, and speed; better quality customer service; and lower cost.
Supply Chain Centers of Excellence Study - Summary Charts - 2014 - 2015
Executive Overview
Growth is slowing and the complexity in today’s supply chain is unprecedented. No two centers of excellence are the same, and no two supply chains are alike. There are different drivers and obstacles to building and running a Center of Excellence. However, if done right, the organization rates itself as more aligned, proactive and agile. The high-level results from our study are shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Centers of Excellence Infographic
Based on our qualitative interviews with clients, we find that these seven drivers to build a Center of Excellence:
• Increase in the Importance of Supply Chain Management. As growth slows, and the global multinational organization matures, more and more companies are interested in driving supply chain excellence. The reasons are many; but, at the top of the list is improving reliability in the face of volatility. How so? Demand volatility is increasing and supplier viability is growing more fragile. Driving reliability in global operations in the face of these challenges is fundamental to defining and executing supply chain excellence.
• Building of Global Teams and the Development of Supply Chain Talent. With the shortage of students from academia, and the retirement of the first- and second-generation supply chain pioneers, more and more companies are developing and executing programs to build supply chain talent. There is a shortage of mid-management talent with pressure on planning job retention. There is a limited supply of supply chain knowledge workers: leaders that are technologically savvy, analytical problem solvers, and astute in business processes.
• Continuation of Work on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). When companies complete a large ERP project, there is a strong impetus to get the value from the investment and ensure technology usage. The focus of the Center of Excellence often becomes an extension of the global implementation team.
• Metrics and Implementation of Analytics. While the management of supply chain excellence sounds easy, it is not. The management of order-to-cash and procure-to-pay processes and the supply chain execution processes are easier because they are well-defined. Most companies struggle with the definition of planning and the use of new forms of analytics.
• Network Design and the Orchestration of Flows. Most companies start on their supply chain design journey to save costs in logistics. With the increasing cost of transportation, and the fragility of freight networks, network design for transportation and logistics networks is paramount. One client likened it to “minting money.”
• Testing of New Technologies. Cloud technologies. Supply chain operating networks. The Internet of Things. 3D Printing. New forms of analytics. The list of technology and process disruptors could go on and on. While most companies feel stuck in their existing, and more traditional, processes they want to understand and explore technology

Big Data Report - 16 JULY 2012
For the supply chain leader, Big Data is a new concept. It is not one that is currently well understood. It will be overhyped and overpromised before the concepts reach mainstream adoption. However, it is here to stay. The goal of this report is to better educate and prepare the supply chain leader for this change. In this report, we define the concepts and share insights to help leaders better understand how Big Data concepts can help solve problems in today’s supply chain.

Research in Review - 2014
Executive Summary
No two supply chains are alike, but supply chain leaders across all industries face common challenges. The supply chain is becoming more strategic—an engine of growth and the driver of new business models—to drive new opportunities. For supply chain leaders, it is no longer just a discussion of cost and inventory management.
However, frustration abounds. Companies struggle to improve balance sheet results in the face of rising complexity and slowing growth. While all companies have improved revenue per employee, this efficiency improvement has not translated into operating margin improvements; and while cash-to-cash cycles have improved, it is not due to improvements in inventory positions. Most companies feel stuck, as if they are being held hostage by traditional supply chain practices.
Table 1. Industry Progress Across the Last Decade
In this report, we highlight the current state of supply chains—the supply chain organization, technologies, and process evolution—to enable supply chain leaders to take the next step in their strategy development. This report reflects the current state of supply chains, and is designed as a foundational document for supply chain leaders to build their 2015 strategies.
Understanding the Supply Chain Organization
Improving corporate performance is the driver of today’s supply chain organization. Increasingly, supply chain leaders are adopting new business models—ecommerce, digital business, and growth in new economies—to drive the top line.
Today, for the leader, it is about more than cost management. Instead, it is about the management of a portfolio of metrics to drive corporate performance. The supply chain is a complex system, with increasing complexity, and an increasing importance of driving balance sheet results. It is not easy. Improvement is hard work, and many are stuck. When we analyze financial balance sheet performance for the period of 2000-2013, we find that nine out of ten companies are stuck at the intersection of the two critical metrics of operating margin and inventory turns. Cash flow has been improved through elongating payables, and most companies are struggling to improve inventory in the face of complexity. This is an area of frustration and disappointment for business leaders who want to leverage supply chain technologies and processes to deliver both growth opportunities along with cash and cost savings to the organization.
The reason why? Today, the supply chain organization is traditional, tactical and cautious (see Figure 2). Most leaders would like to have a supply chain that is more agile and proactive. This is not possible with the current state of technologies and processes. To make the shift, companies need to reinvent the supply chain. The processes need to be redesigned outside-in with open sharing through business networks. These new forms of business networks, with many-to-many data models supported by canonical infrastructure, a
Building a Digital Supply Chain - report - 9 APR 2018
Report Details: This report is based on survey research, financial analysis, and discussions with manufacturers attempting to gain first-mover advantage.
Highlight: Digital innovation needs to be focused on ‘test and learn.’ The convergence of new technologies to redefine the atoms and electrons of the supply chain is quite promising, but there needs to be alignment. Read the report for nine insights on how to move forward.
Supply Chain Metrics That Matter: A Focus on Hospitals - 6 JAN 2013
Executive Overview
Growth is slowing. Profitability is tougher. Compliance mandates are growing. How do companies balance the goals for value-based outcomes for health and wellness with costs? In this environment, supply chain matters more than ever.
In this report, we share insights on healthcare supply chains. Grown out of the offices of procurement, the supply chain function of the hospital is still in its infancy; but based on increasing business requirements and complexity, it is only beginning to show its true potential.
Growth: Futures are Uncertain.
The hospital administrator is facing many challenges. Growth is slowing and pressures are growing. The question is how to balance patient outcomes with better cost management. How does a hospital move forward with an uncertain future? And, what will be the impact of healthcare reform?
In table 1, we list top line growth over the past decade for four companies operating within the hospital industry. While there are ups and downs, the general trend is downward.
What Drives Supply Chain Excellence? A Look Back and a Look Forward
This report is based on analysis of financial balance sheet and income statement data for the period of 2000-2012, quantitative survey research results, and interactions with clients in various industries in supply chain strategy sessions. We examine the performance of companies in a cross-section of industries on various metrics. We find that most companies and most industries are stuck in an environment of low results, with the exception of the hi-tech & electronics industry. Finally, we offer our perspective and advice on advancing supply chain excellence and moving the needle for better supply chain performance across company and industry lines.
Highlights
• A project-based approach has failed. Our gains are much lower than we believed in inventory management and a long-term perspective is needed to drive permanent and sustainable improvements.
• The hi-tech industry is the only of the six industries profiled to drive sustained gains across most metrics considered during the time period.
• The definition of supply chain excellence is still evolving as companies move through different maturity stages. Industrial and pharmaceutical companies are mainly stuck at low levels of maturity and could benefit greatly from applying lessons learned in other industries to their own supply chains.

Why Is Supply Chain Planning So Hard? 16 FEB 2016
RESEARCH OVERVIEW:
Details: The research for this report is based on five surveys fielded during the period of January 2014 – December 2015. The research was a progressive set of studies on supply chain planning. What are the barriers and what drives success. While the path to supply chain planning excellence is fraught with issues, the expected Return on Investment (ROI) for a successful supply chain planning project is nine months. In this report, we share insights on why supply chain planning is so difficult and how to maximize the ROI..
Objective of the report: To share insights with supply chain leaders on how to maximize the value from a supply chain planning implementation. The report shares insights on five barriers and then gives recommendations to overcome the barriers to maximize the ROI.
Highlights: While many approach supply chain planning as a technology project, successrequires companies to rethink how they make operational decisions and plan for future outcomes. The bigger issues in executing a supply chain planning project is how work is organized and how reward systems shape behavior.

How Can You Drive Opportunity If You Cannot Manage Risk?
25 July 2018
Report Details: The research for this report was conducted via an online survey from March 12 - May 11, 2018. Surveys were conducted among 93 respondents -- a mix of business users (manufacturers, wholesalers/distributors/co-operatives, and third-party logistics providers, n=34), vendors (software providers and consultants, n=39), and others (academics, analysts, unemployed, and others, n=20).
Objective: To understand the current and expected future state of supply chain risk management, the biggest drivers of risk, and the impact on supply chain disruptions. NOTE: supply chain risk management is defined as the proactive identification and assessment of potential risks to the supply chain, as well as the development of strategies to avoid these risks.
Highlight: Nearly two-thirds of respondents believe that their company performs better today on risk management practices than five years ago yet they had 3.5 disruptions last year on average. Managing risk requires a network approach. Today’s investments in end-to-end supply chain are by and large not effective in risk mitigation. Only 37% have visibility of extended-tier suppliers and most lack the solutions to manage global complexity.
Supply Chain Metrics That Matter: Third Party Logistics Providers-10 DEC 2013
Executive Overview
Third party logistics (3PL) providers fill a critical role in today’s global supply chains. With the rise in e-commerce, the growth of global markets, and the reshaping of the retail market, dependency on 3PLs is rising. It is an industry with fierce competition. Despite the promises of technology-driven differentiation, as of yet, no 3PL has successfully been able to differentiate and create significant brand loyalty. This is the market opportunity moving forward.
Today, companies on average send 30% of goods through third party logistics (3PL) providers. The 3PL market is now $148 billion in size with single-digit annual growth. Hit hard by the Great Recession, the industry is still in recovery. The 3PL industry has matured over the last 50 years; but it operates at a low margin, struggling to balance what we term The Effective Frontier.
The ongoing inability to drive resiliency on The Effective Frontier by managing tradeoffs of growth, profitability, cycle and complexity should be a concern for those working in, or working with, the 3PL industry. Comparable results from ten industries are shown in Table 1, ranked by average operating margin. 3PLs not only occupy the second lowest ranking, they have also seen the most significant drop in operating margin as a percentage since 2000. In this report, we look more closely at the current state of the industry.
Three Techniques to Improve Organizational Alignment-9 July 2013
When organizations are aligned, things happen quicker. It takes less effort. People know what to do, and there is a greater bias for action. As a result, the organization can achieve higher levels of results and better withstand the pressures of demand and supply volatility.
Line of business leaders lack alignment. While many consultants claim that business results happen through better IT and business alignment, in this study, we find that the gaps in functional alignment within the business functions of sales, marketing, finance, and supply chain are far greater than the gaps between IT and line of business.
As shown in figure 2, within the organization, demand and supply volatility reigns. It is growing worse. This pain is felt across the line of business functions. To weather the storm, functions attempt to align, but doing this is easier said than done. It requires work and leadership.
This misalignment is not equal by business function. Of the three groups in this survey—supply chain, finance and information technology (IT)—the supply chain organization feels the alignment issue to a greater degree than the other two business functions. As shown in figure 2, it is one of their top three business pains.
So, what can an organizational leader do to improve alignment? In this study, we find that when companies do three things, and focus on doing them well, they can substantially improve organizational alignment:
• Have a Clear Definition of Supply Chain Strategy. While many companies state that they want to be “agile,” it requires definition. Companies need to design a supply chain with this goal in mind. When the organization has a carefully crafted definition of agility, it is able to improve organizational alignment. The definition of “shorter cycles” is not sufficient.
• Sales and Operations Planning. Organizations with a mature S&OP process are more aligned. In this study, 61% of supply chain respondents report having an S&OP process, but 48% of that group rate their process as effective. For a more detailed analysis of S&OP, please refer to our report Sales and Operations Planning: Current State of the Union.
• Supply Chain Center of Excellence. Organizations with a supply chain center of excellence are more aligned. The greatest impacts are between marketing and finance, as well as operations and Corporate Social Responsibility.
The study shows that there is significant opportunity for organizations to improve on all three of these critical factors. The good news for supply chain leaders is that this study provides three clear actions that can deliver improved alignment.

processes.
Those polled are based in North America (36%),
Asia-Pacifi c (26%), Western Europe (37%), and
Eastern Europe (1%). Executives hail from 19
sectors and represent 16 functional roles, and all
work for companies with revenues exceeding
US$1bn.
In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted
with experts from a variety of industries. Our

l Yuri Levin, Distinguished Professor of Operations
Management and Director of Master of
Management Analytics program,
Queen’s University
l Al Raymond, Head of U.S. Privacy & Social Media

The evolving role of data in decision-making
As the volume of data has grown and the methods
of analysing them have improved, organisations
have been integrating data more fi rmly into the
decision-making process. However, increasing
numbers of traditional and non-traditional data
sources are inundating companies with data in
volumes and types they may not have seen before.
Companies are fi nding an increasing gap between
the acquisition of data and their meaningful use.
Companies have focused extensively on the
opportunities and challenges presented by “big
data”, recognising that leveraging it to gain
competitive advantage can yield signifi cant pay-
offs. Research from MIT’s Sloan School of
Business indicates that companies that engage in
“data-driven decision-making” enjoy a 5 to 6%
increase in output and productivity over fi rms that
do not. These results are replicated in other
metrics, such as asset utilisation, return on equity
and market value.
The evolving role of data in decision-making,
sponsored by CSC and EMC, examines how big data

decision-making. It looks at organisati.

Big Plans for Big Data in the Public Sector Infographic
Big Data and analytics are held in high regard by agencies worldwide, but implementing government programs remains challenging. The difference between what agencies hope to achieve with big data and how they grade their performance today is striking.
The Power of Data: Understanding Supply Chain Analytics
This is why supply chain analytics matters: Every day, every hour and every minute, countless packages and shipments are being moved around the world within never-ending flows of supply chains. These supply chains serve as the backbone of the world economy and, in truth, are what keeps the world moving. But consider for a moment the amount of data, information, and decisions that are required to make a supply chain not only operate but to do so effectively. While the end goal is to get the package from A to B as quickly and efficiently as possible, there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes that make it all work.

2023 Reset Report v3.1.pdf
A critical look at three years of supply chain disruption. Using quantitative and qualitative research, Lora Cecere, Founder of Supply Chain Insights, looks critically at the factors within companies that drove resilience and the factors less successful. Companies that won were aligned, used market signals, decreased process latency, used scenario planning, and implemented descriptive analytics. Those that fared worse, had tight integration of supply chain planning to ERP, were not aligned, and were focused on a digital transformation strategy.
