Danish supply chain leaders worry more than their European counterparts during the corona crisis
Danish supply chain leaders have a different type of concern about the consequences of the corona crisis than their counterparts in the rest of Europe.
This is evident from a survey conducted by Supply Chain Media and Syncronic that was carried out in the second half of March.
“Only” 44 % of Danish SCM executives are concerned if their companies are affected by a lack of supplies. Here, the figure is 60 % for Europe as a whole.
Conversely, Danish SCM executives have far more wrinkles in the pan over the financial aspects.

Der sker en mindre revolution for tiden på SCP-området (Supply Chain Planning) pga. den digitale omstilling og tekniske muligheder, som bliver billigere og nemmere at indføre.

Samtidig er der mere end nogensinde før fokus på S&OP processen og skabe dynamik i kapacitetsstrukturen. Det betyder, at en stor del af de danske virksomheder har fokus på teknologier til bedre at understøtte planlægningsområdet.
I artiklen vil du kunne læse om tendenser indenfor samt udfordringer ved SCP-planlægningsværktøjerne. Heraf diskuteres eksploderende datamængders indvirkning på virksomheders systemer, og hvordan man vælger sit næste SCP-værktøj.

Betal din skat med glæde - og øg din profit på såvel den korte som den lange bane
Enhver SCM-leder i multinationale virksomheder ved, at skat i form af moms, afgifter, told m.m. i stigende grad er med til at definere en optimal forsyningskæde, når virksomhedens omkostninger skal minimeres. Forretningsmodeller med forsyningskæden som omdrejningspunkt har tidligere kunne bidrage til at optimere virksomhedens samlede indtjeningsskat. Disse muligheder er for nyligt blevet voldsomt ændret.
I artiklen vil du kunne læse om, 1) Hvad de ændrede skattevilkår betyder for din supply chain, 2) Do’s og Dont’s i optimering af forretningsmodellen, 3) Betydningen af øget fokus på bæredygtighed.

Integreret forretningsplanlægning - hvorfor spiller dine ledere ikke på samme hold?
Ineffektivitet i ledelsesteams i form af uklar governance, silotænkning og manglende vilje til at prioritere og træffe fælles beslutninger danner ofte et glasloft i modningen af S&OP-processen. Ledelsesbarrierer, utilstrækkelige processer og dårlige data er en uheldig cocktail for opnåelse af Integrated Business Planning (IBP). De kan fjernes ved en struktureret tilgang - men det tager tid.
I artiklen vil du kunne læse om, 1) Hvordan silotækning bremser S&OP modenhed, 2) Hvordan IBP-rejsen kan gribes struktureret an og 3) CFO'ens rolle i en succesfuld IBP-rejse.
