Supply Chain Innovation

Unlocking the Next Supply Chain Innovations

The world of supply chain management is evolving at an extraordinary pace, with innovations progressing from development to established best practice in a matter of months. Yet many of the discoveries that will define the future of supply chains are still in front of us.

That’s why ASCM is seeking to invest in innovation and research, with the intent to propel supply chain forward.

MxD

MxD equips U.S. factories with the tools and expertise they need to build every part better than the last. It is a goal far too big for any one company to solve on its own. The most advantageous opportunities of the future will involve digitally powered manufacturing. Innovative manufacturers turn to us to forge that future. ASCM and MxD are collaborating to explore new, digital product opportunities for supply chain management.

Industry Research

Sustaining critical industry research such as ASCM’s annual salary and state of the profession surveys, as well as new benchmarking research projects in partnership with the Manufacturing Performance Institute (MPI) that define standards and best practices for supply chain excellence.

With investment from funding partners, we can unlock additional developments that benefit companies, industries and the supply chain community at large.
