IDC Manufacturing
Insights today announced the results of the 2012 US Supply Chain
Survey, which examines the state of the supply chain, how manufacturers are
adapting and improving their supply chains, and how technology plays a role in
enabling manufacturers to be more successful. Based on a survey of 350 US
manufacturers, a new report, 80% of
respondents rate reducing overall supply chain costs as the number one supply
chain priority in the coming year. Nearly 55% suggest supply chain agility is
second and 52% suggest improving product quality and safety is the third most
important priority.
