AMR Research, a Boston-area research firm focused on the global supply chain and its supporting technologies, has announced that it is expanding its research team with the addition of three new analysts, Paul Lord, Steve Steutermann and Allen Johnson.

This announcement comes after AMR Research hosted a sold-out supply chain conference, underscoring the company’s momentum and the importance of the global supply chain in today’s economy.

"We are thrilled to welcome Allen, Paul and Steve to our supply chain research staff. They each bring a tremendous amount of industry experience, acumen and enthusiasm to their roles," says Tony Friscia, president and chief executive officer of AMR Research. "These analysts reinforce our expertise in supply chain research and will help us continue to provide the best research and advice to our clients."

With more than 25 years of experience, Steve Steutermann will focus his research on the consumer product industry’s supply chain. At companies such as Procter & Gamble and Gillette, Steve held roles in sales, marketing, process improvement and operations.

Paul Lord will lead research in the chemical and process industries, concentrating on transportation and inventory optimization, manufacturing and supply chain excellence. Paul has 25 years of experience at chemical companies including Air Products and Chemicals, ARCO Chemical and Lyondell Chemical.

Allen Johnson joins AMR Research as a research director covering industrial and consumer supply chains. Prior to AMR Research, Allen worked with Hewlett-Packard for 15 years before spending time at IDS Scheer, a business process management and consulting firm.
