A recent article in Industry Week stated that supply chain earns a seat at the table, but I fail to see how it’s time to celebrate when only 51% of manufacturing companies surveyed have a supply chain leader at or above the executive vice president level.
Until 9 of 10 companies have a supply chain leader at or above the executive vice president level, the celebrations need to be put on hold. Supply chain leadership is much too important to be satisfied with leadership at only half of the companies out there — and anyone who thinks that 51% is cause for celebration is missing the big picture.
