Supply chain executives will be the professionals enjoying the highest level of demand in 2009, one recruitment agency has suggested.
With a recession looming, supply chain management has become far more important as businesses in all kinds of sectors aim to cut costs.
Cast UK believes that, as a result, supply chain management executives will be some of the most sought-after professionals this year.
"In a recession having an efficient, well-managed and structured supply chain is one of the most effective ways of increasing and protecting profitability," said Wayne Brophy, head of recruitment consultancy Cast UK, in a Logistics Manager report.
"Over the past 12 months we have seen companies putting far more emphasis on managing the supply chain, with many creating dedicated positions for supply chain directors and managers where they did not have them before."
Contracting a supply chain management company can be an effective way of benefiting from decades of experience and a team of managers who can manipulate any supply chain in order to cut costs dramatically.
