What Drives Inventory Effectiveness in a Market-Driven World? Summary ChartsLora Cecere
Survey Details: The research for this report was conducted from February 12 – October 8, 2015. Surveys were conducted among Manufacturers, Retailers, and Wholesalers/Distributors/Co-operatives with $250M+ in revenue and who use (and are familiar with) inventory optimization software (n=64). Respondents were evenly split between those using basic (ERP or ERP+APS) and advanced (software in addition to ERP/APS) software. All surveys were conducted by Supply Chain Insights.
Objective: To understand the impact of inventory optimization software on supply chain excellence. NOTE: inventory optimization software was defined as “any form of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), APS (Advanced Planned Software), or sophisticated inventory planning tools.”
Highlight: Companies who use advanced software are more likely to be satisfied with their software, to be effective at making inventory decisions and to drive a return on investment for their software.

Supply Chain Metrics That Matter: A Focus on the High-Tech Industry - 2015Lora Cecere
Executive Summary: Current State of the High-Tech Industry
Globalization. Commodity inflation. Margin squeeze. Economic uncertainty. Warranty issues. Shortening product life cycles. Recalls. Labor arbitrage and outsourcing. The list of market pressures could go on and on, but one thing is clear: the high-tech industry was redefined over the course of the last decade. In Table 4 we show the progress of discrete industries for the periods of 2006-2014 and 2011- 2014. Notice there is more red (lack of progress) than green (progress) in the industry trends.
Table 4. Supply Chain Performance by Industry within the Discrete Industries
High-tech companies have the most advanced practices for inventory management, planning and analytics. They are just treading water (keeping slightly ahead of the market dynamics). The rate of change drives innovation. Within this industry there are more supply chain innovators taking a hard look and driving the adoption of prescriptive analytics and canonical value network infrastructures.
Taking a closer view at the value chain of the sub-industries within high-tech, i.e. consumer electronics, B2B Electronics, and semiconductor industries, the impact of the industry drivers and the importance of supply chain performance becomes clearer.
Table 5. Supply Chain Performance by Industry within the High-Tech Sector
The entire value chain is struggling to maintain margins and improve inventory turns. For consumer electronics and B2B electronics, growth is down, operating margins are degrading and inventory turns worsening. Supply chain matters more than ever.
Wake Me Up! - The 2015 Country Radio Seminar Research PresentationEdison Research
This document summarizes research from a study called "Wake Me Up" which looked at morning routines of country music listeners. It used surveys and interviews to understand how people wake up, what they do in the morning, and how they get to and spend their morning at work. Key findings include that 41% of listeners wake to an alarm, most spend time in bed after waking, and the peak commute time is 7-8am with most listening to radio alone in their car. It also reviews the elements and purpose of morning radio shows that listeners engage with during their morning routine.
What Is the Value Proposition of Sales and Operations Planning?Lora Cecere
Survey Details: The research for this report was conducted online from January 6 - September 14, 2015 by Supply Chain Insights. Surveys were conducted among Manufacturers and Wholesalers/Distributors/Co-operatives with $250M+ in revenue and who have at least one S&OP process (n=73). For the purpose of analysis, respondents were split between those with a self-reported "effective" S&OP (n=31) and those without (n=42).
Objective: To understand the value proposition of an effective S&OP (Sales and Operations Planning) process. NOTE: An S&OP process was defined as a "tactical planning process to forecast sales and plan operations."
Highlight: Companies with a more effective S&OP process are more aligned, agile and balanced, which leads to greater control and improved response.

The document provides tips for creating effective presentations. It recommends standing to the left of the screen so the audience focuses on the presenter, not reading slides verbatim. Slides should complement but not replace the presenter. The document also suggests increasing retention by showing slides for 14-21 seconds before explaining them, allowing the visual to "sink in" first. Additionally, it notes attention spans average 18 minutes and provides guidelines for optimal pacing of slides and engaging the audience every few minutes.

Why Is Supply Chain Planning So Hard? 16 FEB 2016Lora Cecere
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.
The document discusses Scala, a programming language designed to be scalable. It can be used for both small and large programs. Scala combines object-oriented and functional programming. It interoperates seamlessly with Java but allows developers to add new constructs like actors through libraries. The Scala community is growing, with industrial adoption starting at companies like Twitter.
The Syrian refugee situation, has become one of the biggest humanitarian crisis’ in the last decade. An estimated 9 million Syrians have fled their homes since the outbreak of civil war in March 2011. We see it on tv. We read about it in the news…but do we understand who and what a refugee is?
