AGCOBusiness students are all exposed to the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis tool. This last week I came across several interesting stories - or in one case a presentation - that all centered on different aspects of SWOT in the supply chain realm. Their key tools were a transportation management system (TMS) from 4flow, SAP's Supply Network Collaboration tool, and a supply chain risk management solution from risk methods. Putting in a TMS and achieving freight savings is not all that unusual, but AGCO's freight savings - on a percentage basis - are the greatest I've ever come across. That is a supply chain strength!
