One way some supply chain operators identify industries within the U.S. that may by likely to participate in supply chains in 2000 and 2001 is to determine which industries have the largest number of companies in them. However, before recruiting all of the most densely populated industries into supply chains it is important for supply chain promoters to also examine the amount of revenue that is likely to flow through supply chains in the given industry. A large number of companies in an industry may mean it is a good target for supply chain participation, but supply chain promoters should not stop there.

One way to identify industries within the U.S. that may by likely to participate in supply chains in 2000 and 2001 is to determine which industries have the largest amounts of revenue. However, before recruiting all of the top revenue industries into supply chains it is important for supply chain promoters to examine the portion of revenue that is likely to flow through supply chains in a given industry. Large volume in revenue is typically the first clue that the industry will participate in supply chains at a high rate during 2000 and 2001, but supply chain promoters should not stop there.

Identifying Locations and Industries With High Potential for Supply Chain Participation
When supply chain promoters must identify the best potential participants for their systems, several approaches can be used. The most effective technique is to determine which industries are likely to have the highest amount of money flowing through supply chains in the coming years. Looking at potential dollar volume in supply chains by state is another profitable way to find future supply chain participants. In addition, supply chain promoters may also look at the amount of total revenue in an industry as well as the total number of companies in the sector, but these are not as accurate measures.
