FMCG supply chains are undergoing dramatic changes due to various shifts in the field. Supply chains are more complex, global, and interconnected than ever, but in turn, supply chain management technology has improved efficiency through automation and data collection.

Meanwhile, customers mindful of sustainability want to be assured that the companies they do business with are committed to green supply chains.

What’s more, the aftermath of the pandemic is still settling in. Changes in consumption trends are requiring companies to pursue agile supply chain practices in an effort to respond to shifting consumer needs, and as preparation for future disruptions.

CSCOs have risen to meet the challenge, leveraging expertise in analytics, forecasting, logistics management and supplier management in order to address every part of the supply chain and develop new strategies for optimisation. Technology expertise is also a key factor in the CSCO’s ability to manage and improve the supply chain. Data analytics and insights at every point can help identify inefficient stages or noncompliance with sustainability and other metrics.

ELR has placed some of the most dynamic and driven CSCOs and other similar roles in the top companies in the industry. We know that what each company needs from their CSCO will always be different, and we work closely with our partners to discover who would best create value for whom.
