Supply Chain Management

Increased competition, changing consumer demands, and overall economic uncertainty are causing business leaders to rethink they way they conduct business. To maintain profitability, many organizations are turning toward improving supply chain operations to: reduce costs, increase flexibility and responsiveness to customers, and improve overall organizational efficiency. Improving supply chain operations, however, is not an easy task. In fact, industry analysts report that less than 20% of companies that engage in supply chain initiatives actually achieve significant ROI. Our research indicates that the leading cause for such poor success is related to the ability to implement change within the organization that holds people accountable for results and tracks ongoing performance measurement. The bottom line is that, proper organizational change and new processes account for over 70% of the ROI from a successful supply chain transformation, while only 30% is attributed to technology alone.

Based on this research, ValueCurve has developed an industry leading Speed2Value^TM methodology and ValueDriver4^TM performance tracking software that enables companies to implement business process change and hold people accountable for ongoing supply chain performance measurement. In addition, ValueCurve has developed a unique 5- step approach to supply chain business transformation (see below).

"There is a link between Supply Chain Management and how Wall Street values stocks. Good execution, efficiencies, and stability in cash management are enabled by supply chain management. Companies that show they are aggressive in managing costs have been rewarded with increases in their stock values".

-- Stuart Francis, Managing Director, Lehman Brothers
