The emergence of the chief supply chain officer reflects the importance of the supply chain to all aspects of a business.<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Sheryl S. Jackson<\/em>\u2014<\/em><\/p>\n

The complexity of business\u2014as retailers and manufacturers in all industries compete in an e-commerce, global world\u2014has led to the emergence of new member of the C-suite: the chief supply chain officer, or CSCO.<\/p>\n

This move is more than re-titling and rewarding a valuable employee\u2014it is a reflection of the importance of the supply chain to all aspects of a business.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the past, supply chain usually meant procurement but today it means much more,\u201d explains Ronald Hammond, chief supply chain officer at GOJO Industries, a global producer and marketer of skin health and hygiene solutions. \u201cAt GOJO, every process from the manufacturing to distribution and interaction with customers as we install dispensers is a supply chain responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hammond has seen recognition of the supply chain\u2019s impact on business grow since he began his career in the 70s. \u201cThe most significant change that has increased supply chain\u2019s visibility is access to data,\u201d says Hammond. \u201cWhen I began my career, information was siloed in each business division.\u201d Not only was data kept separate, but employees in different departments did not share information or collaborate to analyze data from a holistic perspective.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow the velocity and veracity of the supply chain is tied to the velocity and veracity of data\u2014how much do you know and how accurate is it?\u201d points out Hammond. As data grows in volume and access to it requires an understanding of all parts of the supply chain and how each segment affects the other, the role is valued more as a strategic asset, he adds.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I began my career at PepsiCo, the direct store delivery distribution business model was seen as a competitive advantage, but only distribution was viewed as an advantage, not the entire supply chain,\u201d says Hammond. \u201cToday, access to data enables us to see how each segment of the supply chain affects the other\u2014which means distribution alone won\u2019t give you an advantage, but a strong supply chain will.\u201d<\/p>\n
