The State of Supply Chains in 2015

Now more than ever, electronics manufacturing companies require unprecedented visibility into all the parts of their business to help bring new products to market faster, more affordably and with less risk.

This visibility is especially critical for supply chains that span diverse suppliers from across the globe, which need real-time information about manufacturing processes, suppliers, performance, transportation and customers.

Jabil sponsored a global Dimensional Research survey to capture hard data on current experiences, challenges and trends with the supply chains of electronics manufacturing companies.

Participants ranged in roles and company sizes with questions that spanned a variety of topics such as visibility, factory-of-the-future technology, the Internet of Things and more.

The results show some of the biggest trends in supply chains for 2015.
