Strategic MFG FTE Savings

The CAPS Metrics of Supply Management research data confirms that strategic sourcing and strategic buying roles deliver the most leverage per employee across both discrete and process manufacturing. Even with post-pandemic normalization, efficiency and value creation per strategic FTE continue to rise, particularly among organizations that shifted from transactional work to more strategic sourcing, supplier collaboration, and risk management.
