Supply Chain

It has been said that “Companies do not compete; their supply chains do.” We believe this is true across nearly all industries.

At ScottMadden we assist our clients improve their supply chain operations by adopting effective governance structures, leading practices, and state-of-the-art technology solutions.

Supply chain management has grown over the past decade from a back-office function to one of critical strategic importance, yielding significant—and positive—changes in the way we do business. New executive positions have emerged, such as chief supply chain officer or chief procurement officer. New ways of organizing and working together have been created, and supporting tools and technologies are changing the way work is performed and the speed in which it is accomplished.

strategies, restructure their supply chain organizations, and significantly improve daily operations. We

have supported client initiatives across the full range of supply chain processes, including:

Planning and forecasting
Strategic sourcing
