Defining affordable, standard solutions
for Consumer Goods supply chain automation
This Center for Excellence is devoted to delivering practical
Supply Chain Management (SCM) information and guidelines to
consumer goods suppliers. It is sponsored by Microsoft and
MaxQ Technologies. It also draws from the considerable resources
of APICS-The Educational Society for Resource Management,
and Consumer Goods Technology Magazine - the publication of
record for the consumer goods industry.
OUR MISSION: to make SCM technology
simpler and more accessible to small and mid-size Consumer
Goods suppliers.
As the CG market continues its migration toward ever-greater
automation and cost containment, large suppliers have already
enhanced their competitive edge through substantial investments
in complex and highly tailored SCM automation systems. Meanwhile,
smaller suppliers are caught between two primary pain points:
on one side are the growing collaboration requirements of
major customers; on the other side are the confusion, expense
and risks often associated with deploying SCM systems. This
Center for Excellence offers insight into supply chain issues
as they apply to you, the consumer goods supplier, and equips
you with ideas and guidelines for implementing effective,
affordable solutions.
