Setting the Standard for Supply Chain Performance

In today’s increasingly complex retail business environment, measuring the health and performance of a company’s supply chain is critical to business success, both from a cost management and a customer satisfaction standpoint.


Achieving the level of measurement and visibility required, however, is a challenge in itself. Common obstacles such as metric and Key Performance Indicator (KPI) definition, cross-departmental alignment, and lack of end-to-end metric definition can cause many measurement programs to fall short of their charter. Using a standards based framework such as the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR®) model from the Supply Chain Council can help retailers avoid many of these obstacles, with an industry accepted metric hierarchy that spans departmental functions to enforce alignment with corporate objectives.

Scrappy Information Security

This book should be read by anyone who cares about the security and privacy of their online information, and wants to know how to take steps to protect it … and that should be everyone. This book should be read by anyone who wants to “do the right thing” and ensure that they do not inadvertently compromise their employer’s, or their own, sensitive information … and that should be everyone.

Modern corporations do their best to hammer home the message of security through training, communications, and outright begging. The message often falls on deaf ears, not because employees want to make their workplaces unsafe, but rather, because the topic is so complex and wide-ranging that it simply is overwhelming. As an information security professional, it is their charge to make the online world safer for all of us. None of us tolerates a crime spree in our neighborhood. Likewise, we should not tolerate the current crime wave that is sweeping the Internet, one which truly threatens to stifle the e-commerce and e-communications that we have come to know and rely on.
