ScottMadden Partners with SSON for Supply Chain Learning Series

Nov. 18, 2011 - PRLog -- ScottMadden, Inc., a leading general management consulting firm, is launching a Supply Chain Learning Series exclusively for Shared Services & Outsourcing Network (SSON). During the next quarter, this series will emphasize three key topics related to leading practice supply chain organizations. Key topics will include:

•   The Enterprise Supply Chain View - key characteristics of the enterprise supply chain including planning and forecasting, strategic sourcing, procurement, logistics, materials management, and accounts payable.

•   How P2P Fits within an Enterprise Supply Chain - key attributes of a successful P2P transformation and the role technology plays in enabling the capture of the synergies and savings associated with P2P in a shared services delivery model.
   
•   Governance - key building blocks of effective supply chain governance models including decision rights, performance metrics, service level agreements, and issue escalation/resolution. ScottMadden will also present methods to create alignment across an enterprise for a consistent supply chain strategy that clearly differentiates transactional efficiency from higher-value, strategic activities.

“We are seeing more and more integration between running an effective finance organization and an effective supply chain organization,” says Andy Flores, partner at ScottMadden. “This learning series clearly addresses strategies to successfully optimize a supply chain and achieve top-quartile business outcomes.”
