Pocurement and supply profession credibility

“The procurement and supply profession has gained even more credibility and respect as the world wakes up to how essential resilient supply chains are,” Malcolm Harrison, CEO Of CIP, said in a statement.

The report suggests that purchasing and supply-chain management will remain in the spotlight this year. The survey found that 45% of procurement specialists believe their top challenge this year will be working through the supply-chain problems that were created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Those challenges have been pronounced for the restaurant industry. Operators and distributors say the business still faces extreme shortages of such supplies as chicken wings, other proteins and cooking oils. They note that many food processors have still not resumed their pre-pandemic output of ingredients and supplies for the foodservice industry.
