Many companies are looking for ways to show the value of supply management (SM) and align their metrics to those of the company. We asked global companies to identify existing, defined metrics that go beyond the traditional. The 46 companies that responded use the following metrics:

80% budget impact
59% SM’s contribution to reduction in working capital
57% SM return on investment
52% SM contribution to increased margins
