2020 SURVEY REPORT

State of Supply Chain Inventory Management

How the COVID-19 pandemic is reshaping the role of Supply Chain

Welcome to the inaugural edition of Verusen’s annual State of Supply Chain Inventory Management research.

Our first look at the state of inventory management comes at a pivotal time for the enterprise supply chain. Organizations are continuing to act in response to the global pandemic and the completely unforeseen impacts it has caused.

For most organizations, this has resulted in massive revenue losses along with employee layoffs and has now put the spotlight squarely on budgets and the preservation of cash and working capital.

This research was designed to explore supply chain professionals’ perspectives, activities, and challenges related to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and uncover solutions to help mitigate the consequences of similar events in the future.
