FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Utilities Industry Benchmarking Metric Report 2011
(TEMPE, Arizona) August 2, 2011— The CAPS Research Utilities Industry Benchmarking
Metric Report updated in May 2011 includes key supply management performance measures
that focus on organizational structure, and fully burdened salary rates by area
of operation and function. Other key metrics include managed spend, cost savings
reported, and numbers of suppliers. Although survey data shows that 32 percent of
the participants reported their total numbers of suppliers is increasing, it is
important to note that more than one-half (53 percent) of the participants reported
they are increasing their numbers of diversity-owned suppliers. New to the 2011
report are metrics that take a detailed look at inventory turn rates with breakouts
for material that is specific to electric transmission, distribution, and generation.
This year's report also looks at the average dollar value of procurement transactions
that were manually released vs. automated.
The CAPS Research Utilities Industry Benchmarking Metric Report 2011
is available on the CAPS Research public website
www.capsresearch.org.
