Granular data by volume is a must to be able to manage replenishment, network design, and inventory targets. The data in Table 1 is from a recent research study. A simplistic view is that supply chain excellence is the trade-off of cost, inventory and customer service. Most budgets are completed in currency at a brand level.

However, based on my current research, I can no longer say this. Both Kimberly-Clark and P&G are going backwards on operating margin while making progress on inventory turns. P&G’s rate of improvement on the Metrics That Matter was lower than the peer group. billion in inventory charges in April 2001.

When Gartner bought AMR Research, I left to build a company, and in the process, I slowly built a Linkedin audience of over 330,000 followers. Over time, I used this group as a research panel to better understand the choices made by supply chain leaders and what made a difference in balance sheet performance. What did work?”

A Demand-Driven Value Network as defined by AMR Research in 2007: A network that senses demand with minimal latency to drive a near real-time response to shape and translate demand. The focus is on channel data: price; inventory positions; and policies. We then began the discussion on outside-in processes. Channel Sensing.

The company’s focus is on biotechnology and genomic research. I first met Shane in 2007 at the beginning of his work with Syngenta’s value chain. I was working at AMR Research, and the group asked for help to understand the concepts of being demand-driven. He led the team during the period of 2007-2009.

I am bolder on Samsung, simply because they had the highest 2016 Inventory Turns aside from McDonalds. The new trend to be sustainable is part of the current category: Revenue Growth, so why add another category like CSR when we should be moving towards the core supply chain metrics of total delivered cost and customer service.

And, behind the curtain, cranking the numbers is a researcher to help me. If the definition is the balancing of costs and inventory, the winner is Colgate. However, what is now clear to me is that whatever the evaluative metric, Unilever is at the bottom of the CPG peer group and should never be seen as a supply chain leader.

It pains me to see nine out of ten companies are stuck at the critical intersection of cost and inventory turns. For example, in the recession of 2007, DuPont missed the downturn in the market. In a similar vein, their forecasts for the automotive market would have been on new automotive sales and dealer inventory.

Vendor Managed Inventory processes–once hailed as the panacea of demand sensing–largely operate in isolation within sales organizations (of the thirty-three organizations that we interviewed last year, no market leader has connected these demand signals).

It took me six months to do the research and sixty hours to write the report. When I wrote a summary report at AMR Research in 2007 and 2009, there were two or 6% of the market. In addition, 85% of the vendors in the multi-tier inventory optimization market that I wrote about in 1995, are now part of larger platforms.

Fall is conference season, and this year, with pent-up post-pandemic energy to return to events, I hit the trail to share insights on the value of outside-in supply chain planning along with recent research on the current state of supply chain management. Using better math to build an inventory plan for raw materials is a good idea.
