I just wrote a post encouraging readers to nominate themselves or deserving co-workers for the title of Purchasing Magazine's Supply Chain Manager of the Year.
Since the PurchaseRealm blog had not been founded when Purchasing Magazine named the winner for 2005 last December, I want to share with you some information about recipient Shelley Stewart, Jr. of Tyco.
Read the article titled The Consensus Builder for full details of the accomplishments. Here are a couple highlights to give you an idea of the magnitude of spend for which this man is responsible.
- $24 billion in spend
- 360 thousand suppliers
- $1 billion in savings
- Internal Purchasing data gathered from and 195 sources and 36 countries
- Establishment of multiple cross-functional teams
- Co-authored Straight to the Bottom Line for Purchasing professionals
His record is quite impressive. Congratulations to Mr. Stewart.
I can't wait to see who receives the honor later this year.
