Supply Chain Talent Study - MARCH 2017 - Preliminary Summary ChartsLora Cecere
• Report Details: The research for this report was conducted via an online survey from February 20 - March 20, 2017. Surveys were conducted among all those working in or studying the supply chain industry -- including business, academia, and students (n=386).
• Objective: To understand the generational differences among supply chain professionals in terms of what's important, where the gaps are, and satisfaction with their supply chain careers.
• Highlight: While 70% of supply chain employees are satisfied with their careers, there are notable differences by generation in terms of job, satisfaction and what matters in their careers. For example, Generation X and Millennials want more work-life balance, fewer hours, and greater flexibility to work from home compared to Baby Boomers. In additional, Millennials are seeking more coaching and on-the-job training, suggesting an opportunity for employers seeking to recruit top talent. Check out the full report for more details, insights, and recommendations.
Presentation Given at the SAS Manufacturing Forum in August 2017Lora Cecere
The document discusses driving digital transformation in supply chains. It covers topics like using outside-in processes and channel data to improve responsiveness, building autonomous supply chains through technologies like IoT, cognitive computing and real-time data, and redefining processes like replenishment and service through these new capabilities. Case studies from companies like Lennox and Newell Rubbermaid are presented to illustrate how listening to new data sources and deploying new technologies can transform supply chain operations.
Report Details: The research for this report was conducted via an online survey from January 16 – April 3, 2017. Surveys were conducted among a mix of manufacturers, retailers, and wholesalers/distributors/co-operatives (n=56).
Objective: To understand the role of supply chain finance in determining supply chain strategy and gaining competitive advantage towards supply chain excellence.
Highlight: Managing costs is a struggle for most companies. While 88% of companies have implemented Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), the hard work of process evolution and maturity continues. In this report we share the current state of supply chains in managing costs, and then take a look at the processes and organizational design factors to evaluate the impact on cost management.
Network of Networks Study 2016-17 Summary ChartsLora Cecere
Report Details: The research for this report was conducted via an online survey from November 8, 2016 – April 3, 2017. Surveys were conducted among a mix of manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers/distributors/co-operatives, and third-party logistics providers (n=39).
Objective: To understand the value proposition of the automation of the network of networks, which enables interoperability between networks. NOTE: A network is considered connectivity in any form between supply chain trading partners – one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many.
Highlight: While companies want to improve B2B processes, today’s technologies and processes are not equal to the challenge. To move forward and gain competitive advantage, map processes outside-in using strategic relationships with new forms of technologies and set realistic goals.
Research Overview:
Details: The research for this report is based on twenty-eight surveys fielded during the period of January 2012 – December 2015. The research was a progressive set of studies to understand supply chain excellence. In the report, we use responses from over 2000 respondents to understand the characteristics of a supply chain that is working well.
Objective: To better understand the levers and actions that are the most impactful for supply chain leaders to take to improve supply chain excellence.
Highlights: While many claim that consolidation of ERP instances will improve supply chain excellence, we find in this report that companies that report that their supply chains are working well have designed organizations to centralize reporting with manufacturing reporting to the supply chain leader In addition, these leaders invested in supply chain visibility, have a clearer definition of supply chain strategy to improve alignment and agility, and are better at delivering on technology projects to deliver software usability.

Customer-Centric Study 2016 - Summary ChartsLora Cecere
Executive Summary
As growth slows, manufacturing companies struggle with rising complexity and increasing levels of demand error. The question is “Could companies decrease complexity and improve growth by building outside-in processes that are customer-centric?” We believe the answer to this question is a resounding “YES!” However, there is a problem. Across the industry there is no common definition of customer-centric supply chains. There is no clear and accepted methodology to build this core competency. As a result, most companies have forged their own paths. In this study, 80% of those surveyed have a customer-centric strategy; yet over half (54%) state that there is room for improvement to drive performance changes in their supply chain. Companies struggle to drive alignment and build constancy of purpose. The goal of this report is to fill this gap.
State of the Industry
Today 46% of respondents rate their supply chain as performing well on the delivery of a customer-centric supply chain strategy. The definition of a customer-centric supply chain used for this research is: one that is aligned with order management, product strategies and distribution processes to deliver/adapt to against customer segmentation strategies.

2014 Talent Study - Summary Charts - 18 AUG 2014 Lora Cecere
Executive Overview
Ask any supply chain leader, “Is the management of supply chain talent important?” and you will get an overwhelming “Yes!” as a response. Yet, only 14% of companies rate themselves as doing better than their peer group when it comes to managing supply chain talent. Surprisingly, 43% of the survey respondents believe that they perform worse on the management of supply chain talent than their peers. The ratio is 3:1. Why the gap? There are many drivers, but the primary reasons are three: management support, recruitment, and staff development. The open-ended responses from the survey are shown in Figure 2.

Fstep Webinar: Beyond The Funnel MentalityJenniferHai
Beyond the traditional funnel approach, companies should focus on developing quality networks of talent. Managers should maintain networks of 20-35 contacts through relationship-building and value exchange rather than aggressive recruiting tactics. Talent acquisition professionals can take on a new coaching role to help managers establish and leverage their networks. A case study from Premera Health found their talent network development program improved manager attitudes, networking skills, and sourcing quality candidates. Measuring network strength through analysis of its structure and positions can further optimize talent sourcing.

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.
A presentation by Lora Cecere, Founder, Supply Chain Insights, USA, delivered during the 38th annual SAPICS event in Sun City, South Africa.

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.
The document discusses defining and testing new "outside-in" supply chain planning processes that use market data rather than just internal data. It summarizes the results of workshops and pilots with various companies testing these new approaches.
The key ideas are:
1) Traditional "inside-out" supply chain planning focuses only on internal data and is insufficient for today's disrupted environment.
2) New "outside-in" processes would use a wider range of market data signals to improve demand sensing and supply chain response times.
3) Workshops and pilots identified 9 new potential planning models and tested concepts like market-driven demand management and bi-directional orchestration.
4) The results showed these new approaches

This document discusses lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic for supply chains. It emphasizes embracing data and investing in new forms of analytics. The pandemic highlighted the importance of organizational alignment, analytics, and inventory management. It also showed that companies with digital transformation strategies did better. Going forward, companies need to redefine time horizons, address latency issues, and imagine customer-centric supply chains of the future.

The project aimed to address operational challenges around service levels, costs, inventory management and develop a new supply chain network design. Key areas of focus included customer service strategy, demand mapping, product portfolio, logistics and transportation optimization. The project structure involved multiple workstreams and phases to develop the new strategy and begin implementation. Preliminary results showed improvements in areas like fill rates, transportation costs and inventory levels.
At the Supply Chain Insights Global Summit, we challenged the audience to think about "social tokens" using this presentation from Luke Layden of Coin Desk.
The document outlines the key steps in a company's supply chain process from understanding consumer insights and developing products, to planning production and distribution, executing marketing plans, and fulfilling orders. It touches on many interconnected functions across the supply chain that are needed to serve customers effectively. Challenges discussed include impacts of COVID-19, supply chain issues, demand forecasting difficulties, and aligning various parts of the organization.
Today's supply chain processes are inside-out. Outside-in processes, using channel and market data, improve the time to respond. This presentation reflects two years of testing using machine learning to understand the impact on the bullwhip effect and Forecast Value Added.

Building Outside-in Supply Chain ProcessesLora Cecere
This document discusses outside-in processes and their importance for supply chain planning. It is authored by Lora Cecere, founder of Supply Chain Insights. Some key points:
- An outside-in process starts with market data from sources like weather patterns, geolocation data, and product reviews to understand demand. This is opposed to starting from a supply-side view.
- Outside-in processes are important because assumptions about logistics and demand are no longer valid given increased volatility. Starting from customer demand provides more accuracy for planning.
- Most companies still operate with functional silos rather than taking a holistic, outside-in view of planning across the end-to-end supply chain. This can

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
