PwC recently published a new survey about the "Next-generation supply chains: Efficient, fast and tailored".
Following are some key statements:
Companies that beat the competition on supply chain performance also achieve significantly better financial results. Supply chain Leaders deliver on time in full (OTIF) on 95.7% of occasions and have an impressive 15.3 inventory turns, while the Laggards achieve only 3.8 turns. That means greater efficiency and customer satisfaction without driving up working capital — essentially, having it all. Those are metrics that really impact the bottom line; the Leaders in our survey enjoy average earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margins of 15.6%, whereas the Laggards can manage only 7.3%.
But, surprisingly, only 45% of respondents say their companies view the supply chain as a strategic asset, and just 9% say the supply chain is helping them outperform their peers. That needs to change, because better supply chain efficiency has a measurable impact. Supply chain managers across the globe need to step up to their top management and claim their rightful place as one of the major elements in the success — or failure — of their company.
arviem can only support these findings from its work with clients and monitoring in real-time their shipments. In average arviem can contribute to a cost reduction in the suppyl chain of 7%.
We are happy, that our happy clients and an independent survey confirm our business.
