Abstract
Supply chains today are amassed with data. To remain competitive in a global economy, supply chain organizations need to constantly derive meaningful information from this plethora of data and make critical business decisions. This process is also referred to as Supply Chain Analytics (SCA). This paper attempts to measure the readiness of organizations to implement Business Analytics – a more generic form of SCA. The results were derived from the survey analysis of 112 respondents in 7 countries from various industries and professional backgrounds. This survey analyzed organizations in four broad categories – standardized and integrated data, well-established infrastructure, sound technical and non-technical expertise and the organizational culture and strategy – and attempted to determine their readiness for implementing Analytics in the organization.
