McCormick & Co. Builds a World-Class Supply Chain

Building a strategic asset from the ground up
In 2002, McCormick & Co., the well-known maker of spices, seasonings and other flavorful products, embarked on a 10-year journey that would completely transform its supply chain.

Through ongoing efforts to develop employees, align the organization and continuously improve, McCormick has succeeded in building a globally coordinated and aligned supply chain organization.

At the foundation of McCormick’s supply chain strategy lies APICS training and the SCOR knowledge framework. At the same time, and as part of the process of creating a global standard for sales and operations planning, the supply chain team rolled out SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (SAP APO).
