Supply Management Org Design

Companies that undergo organization structure changes as part of an enterprise-wide initiative or market-driven decision face a huge endeavor, but data indicates these changes don’t happen frequently. For the last three years, an average of 74% of companies say they’ve operated under their current org structure for five or more years (Metrics of Supply Management, 2020 - 2022).

Spend Under Management

Across industries, category management employees comprise an average 13.3% of the total supply management headcount, but each SCM employee manages hundreds of millions of dollars.

Total Cost Savings

Cost savings is a cornerstone KPI for most supply management groups, measured here as reduction and avoidance in managed spend. In 2022, Financial Services led with 6.4% total cost savings.
