The Strategic CFO and

Supply Chain Planning

HIGHLIGHTS

Traditional supply chain planning was mainly

a tactical function, but the recent

upheavals in the business landscape have

brought forth its strategic importance.

It is now time for CFOs to look beyond

numbers to improve financial viability.

This white paper discusses how CFOs need to be

actively involved in supply chain initiatives,

supporting them with operational policies for better

performance and business sustainability and the

role of Analytics in driving this transformation.

Refocusing Effort – Driving Economic Value

It is imperative for the

CFO's office to be

involved in planning and

monitoring the various

activities associated

with the budgeted plans.

levers during strategic planning to improve

bottom line.

Disjointed Processes and The CFO

Disjointed supply chain planning lacks accuracy wrt products, distribution, cash

flow estimation, etc.

Optimizing the entire supply chain offers improvements to a company's working

capital position.

An involved CFO can essentially integrate individual department plans during the executive S&OP and drive all functions

towards a SINGLE NUMBER plan.

Conclusion

As CFOs gear up for this new role,

technological advancements are making the

transition smoother and empowering them to

make strategic decision.

Data gathered from supply chain functioning

can prove to be of immense value to predict

customer buying trends, supply-demand

forecasting, inventory turns etc.

Analytics can enable the CFO’s office to

regularly track progress, quickly drill-down

issues, and take corrective actions within the

company.

The technology enabled strategic CFO can

chart a new course for supply chain as a

competitive differentiator for the organization.
