Snow fell last night as I worked on my last Supply Chain Metrics That Matter report. The concept of the Effective Frontier is that best in class companies align functional metrics to balance growth, cost, inventory and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) performance while balancing customer service metrics.

Gene Richter is widely known as one of the world’s true procurement gurus, and I was privileged to have known him when he came to speak several times at Michigan State during the 1992-1999 period when I was there. Nancy’s comment to me was as follows: Your comment about procurement being a ‘second cousin’ to other functions made me laugh. And when I say value, I mean more than just cost savings, or the infamous “purchase price avoidance” metric.

The COVID-19 pandemic, more than any other crisis event in recent times, presented immediate and urgent challenges to organisations, and major threats to business continuity. As such, all divisions of all organisations – including procurement – have had to adapt to support rapidly changing priorities.
