THE AGE OF
DIGITAL DISRUPTION
IS YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN SMART ENOUGH?
The goal of supply chain optimization is to deliver the right product to the right person at the right time. That will never change, but in this unprecedented time the challenges have never been so great and the opportunities—with the emergence of AI—so revolutionary.
Most supply chain organizations work with technologies well over 20 years old: they are metaphorically analog machines trying to deliver in an digital world. The ability to provide real time flexibility in delivery and transparency in order management is severely constrained by the functional silos that were designed to optimize each component of the supply chain rather than providing visibility end-to end.
Traditional supply chain organizations operate in fragmented, functional silos that focus on optimizing a particular aspect of the supply chain, rather than optimizing across the entire value chain.
