New York, USA (PRWEB) -- Global Intelligence Alliance (GIA), a global strategic market intelligence and advisory group, has published a White Paper on how Market Intelligence (MI) offerings can better match the needs of Supply Chain Management (SCM) professionals.
SCM specialists and advocates claim that properly focused efforts to manage a firm's supply chain create cost savings, which are better than any money spent on creating profits - largely describing this as 100% ROI. Knowing what suppliers, competitors and customers are expecting helps a firm plan its next strategic moves. The new GIA White Paper, Market Intelligence for Supply Chain Management, discusses the role of MI in SCM strategy, exploring the information challenges supply chain managers face and explaining how MI offers critical insight into the functions of SCM.
Said Rahul Dhingra, one of the authors who also boasts hands-on industry experience in SCM, "Prior to GIA, I was in supply chain management for about 10 years, covering all the SCM functions - from buying and contract negotiations to procurement and business analysis, inventory management, deployment, and strategic sourcing."
"During that time, I was not aware that MI services were available to me. Looking back, I realize that if I had known that a firm could be hired to perform a deep dive on a company, whether it be a competitor or a supplier, or a country, looking for locations to set up a distribution centre, I would have found some budget for it. Not only did I not have the time to do my own research, I wasn't prepared to conduct my own research projects considering the amount of secondary and primary research, as well as the analysis that goes into it. This White Paper aims to demonstrate how SCM professionals make more precise and cost-efficient decisions on how much of a commodity to purchase and carry in inventory, through the organized collection of relevant market intelligence, which thoroughly represents the state of the market."
