Winners represent future innovative leaders, as standout and passionate problem-solvers
TEMPE, Ariz., March 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Institute for Supply Management® (ISM®) announced the winners of the 2022-2023  30 Under 30 Rising Supply Chain Stars Recognition Program to honor global emerging leaders across various industries and supply management disciplines. The top nominee or "megawatt" winner from the 30 Under 30 is Khalid Al Barwani, a category manager and contract engineer at Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), a joint venture with Shell Oil Company. "The accomplishments and talents of this group are extraordinary," said Thomas W. Derry, Chief Executive Officer of ISM. "We're continually impressed by the standout initiative, leadership, and abilities these young professionals have demonstrated to drive value across their organizations." Now in its ninth year, the ISM program honors individuals who are 30 or younger and demonstrate leadership, innovation, collaboration, and other outstanding attributes--at work and through their professional associations. Intended to help bridge the talent gap in procurement and supply management for younger generations, the program highlights role models for aspiring supply chain practitioners and students. Hundreds of applications are received annually, and a rigorous review process assesses candidates based on detailed nominations provided by professional peers, leaders, and executives. Working in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Oman, and Slovakia, the honorees are making their mark on the manufacturing, pharmaceutical, aerospace and defense, oil and gas, hospitality, and food and beverage industries, among others. Sixty percent of the 2022 winners are women, and the average age is 26. "The latest 30 Under 30 winners exemplify the new generation of supply chain leadership and demonstrate how high performers can make an impact on the profession," said Derry. Megawatt winner Khalid Al Barwani, a motivated 27-year-old, for example, has been widely recognized for his impact while at PDO. He has been in the forefront in delivering PDO's first integrated rig category strategy — which won a company award of excellence for generating millions in cost savings and improved health and safety — and will contribute toward a net-zero target by 2050. Additional highlights include Al Barwani serving as project management officer for the near-term sustainability program (NTSP), helping the supply chain team capitalize on low oil prices to deliver more than US$1 billion in cost savings over two years.

INSTITUTE FOR SUPPLY MANAGEMENT® HONORS 30 UNDER 30 RISING SUPPLY CHAIN STARS

Tuesday, March 7th, 2023
Hospitals were largely able to expand capacity to meet growing demand for elective surgeries in February, an Institute for Supply Management report said March 7. In its latest report on the state of the hospital sector, the ISM's Hospital PMI registered 53.5 percent in February, 1 percentage point higher than in January and representing a 33rd straight month of growth for the sector. An index reading above 50 percent indicates that the hospital subsector is generally expanding. While poor weather conditions in certain parts of the country dampened efficiencies, increased employment numbers enabled many hospital facilities to meet such growing demand for surgeries. Hospital supplies were generally delivered quicker, but "hospitals continue to be plagued with product shortages, back orders and discontinued products," said Nancy LeMaster, chair of the ISM hospital committee. The ISM will deliver its next hospital monthly report for March data on April 7.

Growing demand for surgeries met, but supply shortages still plague hospitals

PMI records growth for US apparel manufacturing in February
Apparel manufacturing was one of only four industries to record growth in February, according to the US Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), which recorded 0.3 percentage points of growth in February. The February Manufacturing PMI registered 47.7%, 0.3 percentage point higher than the 47.4% recorded in January, according to the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) Manufacturing Business Survey Committee. However, regarding the overall economy, this figure indicates a third month of contraction after a 30-month period of expansion. In the last two months, the Manufacturing PMI has been at its lowest levels since May 2020, when it registered 43.5%. The New Orders Index remained in contraction territory at 47%, 4.5 percentage points higher than the figure of 42.5% recorded in January. “The US manufacturing sector again contracted, with the Manufacturing PMI improving marginally over the previous month,” said Timothy R. Fiore, chair of the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) Manufacturing Business Survey Committee. “With Business Survey Committee panellists reporting softening new order rates over the previous nine months, the February composite index reading reflects companies continuing to slow outputs to better match demand for the first half of 2023 and prepare for growth in the second half of the year.”
Of 18 manufacturing industries, six reported employment growth in February, with apparel recording the highest. However, the sector also recorded slower supplier deliveries and higher inventories. Textile mills fared less well and were one of the 14 industries reporting a contraction in February. Declines were also recorded in new orders and production, while the industry also suffered from slower supplier deliveries, a contraction in inventories, and a drop in new export orders. The textile industry did, however, report paying decreased prices for raw materials in February. “New order rates remain sluggish due to buyer and supplier disagreements regarding price levels and delivery lead times; the index increase suggests progress in February,” Fiore continued. “Panellists’ companies continue to attempt to maintain head-count levels through the projected slow first half of the year in preparation for a stronger performance in the second half.”

Services PMI® at 55.1%; February 2023 Services ISM® Report On Business®

3/3/2023 10:40 AM ET
The Institute for Supply Management released a report on Friday showing a very slight slowdown in the pace of growth in U.S. service sector activity in the month of February. The ISM said its services PMI edged down to 55.1 in February from 55.2 in January, although a reading above 50 still indicates growth in the sector. Economists had expected the index to slip to 54.5. Andrew Hunter, Deputy Chief US Economist at Capital Economics, said the dip by the index "suggests activity continues to expand at a reasonably healthy pace, but provides further reason to doubt the idea that there has been a resurgence in growth since the start of the year." The modest decrease by the headline index partly reflected a decline by the business activity index, which slid to 56.3 in February from 60.4 in January. On the other hand, the report said the new orders index rose to 62.6 in February from 60.4 in January, indicating a modest acceleration in the pace of growth. The employment index also climbed to 54.0 in February from 50.0 in January, suggesting a return to job growth in the service sector. Meanwhile, the ISM said the prices index fell to 65.6 in February from 67.8 in January, pointing to a slowdown in the pace of price growth. "Overall, there isn't much in the ISM services report to suggest the Fed needs to raise rates significantly higher than previously planned," said Hunter. A separate report released by the ISM on Wednesday showed U.S. manufacturing activity contracted at a slightly slower rate in the month of February. The ISM said its manufacturing PMI inched up to 47.7 in February from 47.4 in January, but a reading below 50 still indicates a contraction. Economists had expected the index to edge up to 48.0.
