Supply Chain Index Monthly Average DBT Trend

November 2nd, 2009 by Alex Cote, Cortera

Cortera’s Supply Chain Index™ (SCI) is a measure of financial confidence. The flow of money through the supply chain is as crucial as the flow of goods. While the flow of goods is driven by sales, the flow of money is largely influenced by a company’s confidence that those sales will continue. Strong confidence in sales normally spurs companies to invest in growth initiatives. On the other hand, a lack of confidence in sales causes companies to conserve cash and slow payments to suppliers.
