Supply Chain Monthly
Current News
CSCMP strives to provide information, education and services that are universal to our members no matter where in the world they live or work.

Below are a few of the industry trends that are capturing our attention:

- E-commerce continues to grow as a percent of total sales. This makes supply chain management (SCM) professionals think about their future supply chain design. Supply chain costs for e-commerce are as high as 25-30% of sales.

- We are watching the Trump administration for impacts to supply chains. Will we produce more products in the U.S.? If in fact regulations are diminished, that might bode well for supply chain transportation, for example.

"My career started with CSCMP and continues today through the connections from the global organization. Ten years ago, my mentor at my university encouraged me to volunteer at a St. Louis CSCMP event, and I was able to land my first supply chain job through networking. The story started there and I am very grateful to call this organization my home and global family," says Michelle Quach, Strategic Sourcing Manager, DJO Global.
Aside from the unsurpassed educational content that will help grow your business and your career, this is the only conference that will connect you to the individuals who can help you make your supply chain work efficiently and effectively.

Whether you are a manufacturer, retailer or supply chain manager, this is the only time this year that you will be able to sit down with the distributors, procurement professionals and operations specialists that are vital to your company and bottom line.
