Supply Chain Convergence in a Disruptive Environment

Supply Chain Disruptions

Organizations are facing a cascading series of disruptions and need to adapt their supply chain operations in response.

However, in a disruptive environment, gaps are exposed, and the problems arising from them are amplified - leading to higher costs, longer cycle times, and reduced resiliency.

Procurement Practices

A recent study by GEP and North Carolina State University surveyed supply chain and procurement professionals to examine points of disconnect in the supply chain, and findings suggest a highly concerning misalignment between the two functions.

What can these leaders do to ensure a productive and optimized supply chain?

Supply Chain Visibility

This GEP white paper - Supply Chain Convergence in a Disruptive Environment - breaks down the study and its findings as well as highlights how technology can mend the gap through visibility and collaboration. 

What’s Inside:

• The disconnects and misaligned priorities between supply chain and procurement pros
• How supply chain and procurement practices can align with enterprise priorities to meet expectations
• Ways to increase visibility and fix the disconnects through collaboration technology

Highly Concerning Gaps in the Supply Chain

The study examined the significant and concerning points of disconnection - or gaps - in the supply chain.

These are areas where gaps in process, information flow, and technology often result in a drag on the supply chain’s productivity and optimization.
