Economic recovery has surpassed economic downturn in the list of business drivers for 2010, according to results of Capgemini Consulting’s new study of 300 leading companies across Europe, US, Asia-pacific and Latin America.
Specifically, the study found that:
- Over 58 percent of the supply chain managers say their main business driver for 2010 is “Meeting (changing) customer requirements”.
- More than 50 percent of the participating companies indicate they will start up or continue with operational excellence / LEAN.
- 37 percent of the participating companies plan to centralize supply chain organizational functions.
- On average, supply chain IT projects (e.g. TMS and WMS implementations) increased by 3 to 12 percent, compared with the results of Capgemini’s 2009 study.
- Sustainability is the second most important business driver for 2010 — up 16 percent over last year. However, the survey results suggest that this has not yet directly translated into a significant increase in supply chain sustainability projects.
