Supply Chain
Manufacturers face the challenge of balancing supply chain risk and opportunity. Without timely information on inventory, demand, shipments and supplier performance, manufacturers cannot respond with the agility required to manage global supply chains. Effective supplier collaboration is often a challenge when managing delivery, quality, invoicing and sourcing.
Complex supply chains require accurate supply chain planning and digital connectivity with suppliers to avoid excess inventory and ensure product availability. Supply chain management software helps manufacturers respond rapidly to demand and supply chain changes by sharing order, schedule, forecast and other timely information with suppliers and trading partners.
Customer demand for unique product choices increases the importance of selecting qualified suppliers for raw materials, products and services. Unexpected business disruptions result in a greater need to maximize supply chain responsiveness and performance from raw materials to the end customer.
Future supply chains will benefit from digital capabilities, making them more connected, automated and transparent. Greater access to secure value chain data from sensors, vehicles and smart shelves will be analyzed in real time to deliver efficiency and boost performance.
