No Room On The Board For Supply Chain

A new report by Analytiqa, a U.K.based business research firm, found that in their survey ten percent of all European companies have stopped having a supply chain director as a board member, despite the fact that most have increased the head count within their supply chain department. The survey showed over 40 percent of European retailers and manufacturers no longer include any supply chain professional on their managerial boards.

Ninety percent of the survey respondents had a positive view of the performance of their supply chain between 2008 and 2009. The most critical future strategic issues identified were forecasting accuracy, overcoming the growing complexity of their supply chains and managing increasing costs.
