Now more than ever, executives recognize the need to establish a shared vision for how they will differentiate against their competition in service and profitability by leveraging their supply chain as a strategic asset and technology as an enabler of it. Lacking deep familiarity with fast evolving trends and an emerging partner ecosystem requires assistance from specialists to help plan transformations with speed, agility, and balance in cost and effectiveness.
Supply chain is both a critical area for investment to ensure customer expectations are met (if not surpassed) and operating costs are maintained. In evaluating your supply chain capabilities, it is important to begin with fundamentals, but also to extend the analysis into your organization’s vision and strategy for the future.
The ability to effectively orchestrate critical manufacturing, inventory deployment, and order fulfillment decisions have for too long been the victim of disparate processes with material impacts to customer satisfaction and key financial metrics. Innovations in cloud computing, improved real time visibility of in transit inventory, and advancing data models have coupled with AI to provide critical insights, but successful adoption requires thoughtful planning and critical strategic decisions be made for scale.
