Abstract
This Manufacturing Insights report details the latest IT trends, challenges,
and opportunities that will shape the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry in
2008. From reporting on the general health of the industry, zeroing in on the
fastest-growing geographic segments and top technology buyers, to providing key
IT budget and industry metrics, this guide gives consumer packaged goods
companies a bird' s-eye view of everything they need to know to build a
go-to-market plan for the coming year.
"Costs and cost control remain key drivers of business process redesign and IT
investment in CPG. The pursuit of cost savings has led to a globally diverse
and distributed supply network, but also rising business risk (business
interruption issues and disaster management) and lack of visibility," says
Simon Ellis, director, Supply Chain Strategies.
