Why is SCM hot ?
� Human Resources– Employer loyalty
– Management model
– Nationalism + regional competition
– Know how
Where are the opportunities?
� Physical product flows– Bottlenecks
– Administration & regulation related issues
– Short term vision embedded in culture
– Uncertainty -> forecasting ?
� Customs– Changes in import duties for some products to
stimulate added value industry
– Closure of main customs points in Moscow
– 1 customs zone for RU, BY, KZ
Where are the opportunities ?
� Survival of the fittest– Supply chain management gets more C-level
attention
– M&A opportunities
– Capacity moves to capability
