Overview: In mid-1990s, executives across industries wondered if strategic sourcing was the next passing fad - the strategy consulting flavor of the day. Ten years later, it is clear that sourcing has become a critical activity that is being welded more and more permanently into the supply chain function as a driver of high performance. The chemicals industry is no exception. Though sometimes thought to lag behind other industries - such as retail, consumer packaged goods, high tech and automotive - Accenture research shows that 75 to 80 percent of chemical companies are moving closer to high performance by conducting strategic sourcing initiatives, hiring consulting help in this area, creating a chief procurement officer position and using supplier relationship management technology.
