Ventana Research recently published a white paper entitled “Beyond the supply chain plan” that is available for free at our website here.  Below is an abstract for the paper:

The high degree of volatility in the world economy over the past several years has undercut companies’ expectation that their demand and supply chain plans will remain intact. Supply Chain Planning does not stop with creating a plan; it also requires being ready to change it. Since the only constant in business is change, your organization must be able to adapt quickly to the dynamic environment. Ventana Research proposes nine key questions to ask yourself to get a sense of the opportunity your company has for improving its supply chain planning process.

I then had the opportunity to interview Robert Kugel, senior vice president and research director at Ventana Research, the author of the paper to discuss why they wrote the paper and some of the key insights from the paper.  You can listen to the podcast here.
