Overview: This years-annual Salary Survey indicates that many organizations view well-rounded warehouse professionals as the unsung heroes of the supply chain. As the economy continues to show signs of weakness, experts agree that upper management has begun to view the supply chain as an invaluable "last frontier" with the potential to save companies millions in cost savings. Therefore, a new emphasis has been placed on the retention of the most experienced, highly educated and technologically savvy logistics managers, a valuable resource many are finding in short supply. As a cost-savings initiative, one major change with many organizations is a move from isolated departmentalization to group homogeneity within the supply chain. By combining all aspects of distribution under one roof, a need has developed for a very specific type of multi-experienced individual who can be versatile enough to wear many different types of hats. When it comes to hiring employees who fit this description, it has been noticed that the demand far exceeds the supply.
