supplychainforesight introduction
supplychainforesight is the industry standard qualitative research study into South Africa's supply chains. Conceived, initiated and still proudly sponsored by Barloworld Logistics, 2009 sees its sixth annual edition. Now a regularly referenced benchmark study, supplychainforesight takes a view each year on the burning issues in South Africa's industry supply chains, analysing insider views on everything from the economic crisis to green supply chains. Each year there is a trend analysis of objectives and challenges for the country's supply chains, as well as CEOs views, and, alongside the overall freely published report, separate reports on supply chain issues in key industries.
