Today's highly competitive cosmetics and personal care market creates tremendous challenges for businesses from external demands for improved customer response times, expanded product offerings and dynamic customer preferences to internal pressures for improved manufacturing efficiency, reduced inventory costs and increased profit margins.
To be successful, leading cosmetics and personal care companies must address:

Cosmetics / Personal Care Industry Benchmarking
WAM Systems conducts an ongoing series of benchmarking surveys for companies throughout the process manufacturing industry in an effort to assess the overall maturity of supply chain practices. The purpose of these surveys is to help each company compare its supply chain process maturity with that of its industry peers.
Each survey is composed of a telephone interview and final report--loaded with demographic and benchmarking data--and is kept confidential to the participating company. Companies find this analysis useful when there is a desire to confirm
what they perceive to be an industry gap within their current planning processes.
