-- A Global Best-in-Class Practices Assessment,
Benchmarking, Development and Recognition
Platform
JAKARTA, Indonesia,
Aug. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- With
the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) becoming a reality in 2015,
economic scenarios and business dimensions are expected to change.
Materials, skilled work force, services, capital, etc. will all
freely move across the region without boundary constraints. This
will provide more opportunities to companies and individuals, which
is good news for ASEAN. At the same time, it will also require
companies to be competitive at the ASEAN instead of country level.
Existing manufacturing hubs like Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia will try to sustain their current
manufacturing advantages and other countries like Myanmar, the
Philippines, and Vietnam
amongst others will try to maximise the new economic environment
and become new sourcing hubs in the ASEAN community.
With new opportunities and challenges knocking at the doors of
corporates in Indonesia and other
ASEAN nations, excelling in manufacturing and supply chain
practices could very well decide on future corporate struggles. To
address this rising necessity, Frost & Sullivan brings forth
the International Supply Chain Excellence Programme (ISCEP),
Indonesia Edition 2014. In tandem with Frost & Sullivan's
programmes currently running in India, the Gulf Co-Operation Council (GCC),
Thailand and Turkey, the Indonesia Edition aims to assist
companies in adopting supply chain excellence practices across
industries through assessments, feedback, and benchmarking.
As part of this programme, while the top performing companies
would be recognised, all assessed companies would be handed over a
scorecard and an evaluation feedback would be shared. The sectorial
benchmarking against global peers will be included in the feedback
with more focus into the operational plans / projects of the
participants. This, when integrated into the business plans in the
subsequent years, would deliver maximum leverage and a clear value
benefit to the participating company.
Speaking about the importance of sustaining and building further
on the Manufacturing capability in the region, Eugene Van De Weerd, Country Director, Frost
& Sullivan, Indonesia, said, "Manufacturing is one
crucial sector that can generate huge employment opportunities in
any country. Indonesia has been a
favoured outsourcing hub from ASEAN and the manufacturing
investments in the country continues to grow year on year. To
ensure that Indonesia continues to
sustain this kind of growth and outperform other regions companies
will have to adopt an innovative approach to achieve excellence and
sustain its competitiveness. Through the ISCEP initiative, Frost
& Sullivan aims to assist companies in addressing the above
challenges and build sustainable and reliable supply chain
processes which will eventually impact the bottom-line of a
company's performance."
According to Aroop Zutshi,
Global President and Managing Partner, Frost & Sullivan,
"The International Supply Chain Excellence Programme (ISCEP) is a
must for organisations that seek to enhance their competitiveness
amongst peers, and thus achieve their long term growth objectives.
This programme is an effective way of adopting functional and
operational best practices from across Industries and Nations. The
acknowledgement benefits that will accrue to local and
international top performers, will serve not only as an internal
motivational tool, but can also be leveraged for effective business
promotion. I invite all forward-thinking corporates to apply for
this one-of-its-kind programme."
Frost & Sullivan's International Supply Chain Excellence
Programme (ISCEP) is based on a scientific assessment of
adequacy and effectiveness of the systems implemented in an
organisation. This will measure the maturity of systems, their
effectiveness and the continuous improvements done towards
making supply chain processes reliable and capable of
delivering planned results. The strength of this Programme lies in
its unique Site Assessment Methodology. Every facility is examined
on predefined factors that capture effectiveness and efficiency of
processes such as operations, quality, customer alignment, supply
chain and logistics, human resources, research & development
and business financials.
The participants of this process will have global benefits and
an acknowledgement process that will catalyse their reach out to
customers, collaborators and partners across the world. Further,
companies can leverage this international platform, by opting to be
recognised in any one of the other countries covered in this
Programme or a country where Frost & Sullivan has its presence,
besides its own home country. (Note: Subject to Executive
Committee Approval).
ISCEP Indonesia Edition is supported by Indonesian French
Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IFCCI) and Supply Chain
Indonesia.
