Overview

This IDC Retail Insights report provides retail supply chain investment best practices, as discovered through analysis of the 2010 IDC Retail Insights and Manufacturing Insights' Supply Chain Survey. This report should be used to benchmark and plan future retail supply chain investments.

Leslie Hand, research director, IDC Retail Insights, states, "Retail supply chain investments are clearly influenced most by increased competition and globalization. How successfully a retailer capitalizes on these global opportunities will hinge directly on how well it orchestrates supply chain activities to fulfill localized demand while increasing service levels and reducing costs. Supply chain intelligence, accurate forecasting, and vigilant demand responsiveness will allow retailers to invest for growth, instead of idle inventory."
