Source for money earned stat: Operations Management Employment Outlook Purchasing.com 12 of the 2010 Supply Chain Top 25 support APICS CSCP education 2011 marks the seventh year of our annual Supply Chain Top 25 report . The goal of this research has always been to raise awareness of the supply chain discipline and how it impacts business. The Top 5 include three mainstays — Apple, Dell and P&G — and two that joined the list for the first time last year—Research In Motion (RIM) and Amazon. Four new companies joined the list this year: Nestle, Starbucks, 3M and Kraft Foods. Four key themes emerged this year among the leaders , including how they deal with volatility, their approaches to value chain network integration, their focus on sustainable execution and their abilities to orchestrate. Recommendations Develop supply chain processes and methodologies throughout your trading partner network that will provide the resiliency to deliver predictable results in the face of ongoing volatility. Supplement a clearly articulated, long-term value chain vision with strong, agile, and sustainable execution capabilities. Push your team to think differently and go beyond conventional wisdom to push the boundaries on performance levels. Measure your supply chain as your customers experience it. Develop the capability to internalize customer needs, and proactively build customer feedback into your supply chain design. Step back and consider the basic supply chain capabilities you need, as well as the innovations that will differentiate your performance. Ensure the sustainability of your efforts and initiatives through a constant focus on governance, change management and culture.
Slide 42 & 43 are text heavy; suggest customizing the slides to fit your audience and speak to the bullets rather than listing everything here. These are benefits the corporation will receive but they can also be put in the context of these are what an employee can do for their employer as well if you are addressing a group of individuals vs. a corporation.
Be careful on both this slide & the prior: If you are addressing a group of individuals … they want to hear how CSCP can allow them to gain additional skills & move up/around in their career. Sell career fulfillment & differentiation. If you’re addressing a corporate group you’d want to position these employee skills as how they will benefit the corporation, instead of putting the focus on how they could help the individual move to another organization.
