This PPT slide, part of the 30-slide APICS Supply Chain Manager Competency Model PowerPoint presentation, outlines significant challenges organizations face in supply chain management, particularly in today's complex global environment. It highlights 2 main areas of concern: supply chain vulnerabilities and rising costs due to inflationary pressures.
Under supply chain vulnerabilities, the slide identifies several critical issues. First, there is a noted slowdown in resilience-building efforts, indicating that many companies struggle to maintain momentum in their strategies to enhance supply chain robustness. This lack of progress leaves organizations exposed to unforeseen disruptions. Next, the slide points out gaps in supply chain visibility, which restricts companies' ability to anticipate and respond to disruptions effectively. Compliance challenges further complicate operations, as navigating intricate regulatory environments can hinder efficiency. Lastly, talent shortages emerge as a significant barrier, with a lack of skilled professionals impeding the development and execution of effective supply chain strategies.
The second section addresses rising costs and inflationary pressures. Organizations are currently grappling with material scarcity, which drives up procurement expenses. Elevated freight prices are another concern, as increased transportation costs strain budgets and affect pricing strategies. General inflation exacerbates these challenges, creating additional cost pressures across the supply chain.
This slide serves as a crucial reminder for potential customers about the multifaceted challenges in supply chain management. Understanding these issues is essential for organizations looking to align with the APICS Supply Chain Manager Competency Model and enhance their operational efficiency and profitability.
