Inside the Supply Chain and Purchasing Industry

2011 Supply Chain Salary Survey Released

Tim Moore joined PMAC President Cheryl Paradowski at the new offices of Materials Management & Distribution (MM&D) and Purchasing b2b magazines for the latest release and innovative ‘webinar’ on this year’s Supply Chain Salary Survey. Tim was an invited panelist and contributor at the webinar, which results showed that average supply salaries have gone up, rising with the education and position respondents reported. Not surprizing was that respondents reported that cost control was their top concern through last year, with well over half saying it would continue again this year. This was followed by supplier relationship management and risk management respectively. For more details refer to your copy of MM&D and Purchasing b2b magazines.
