What Every Executive Needs to Know About Control Towers in Supply Chain Management

In this 'paper' we describe how a network control tower is a collaborative platform that engages your trading partners in decision making for better decisions, better optimization, better teamwork, and ultimately better results.

Supply Chain Control Towers

Supply Chain Control Towers have come to the forefront of supply chain management in recent years as one of the best ways to manage today’s sprawling supply chains.

There’s a good reason.

Among other things, Control Towers enable companies to achieve end-to-end visibility and improve supply chain operations across sites and regions.

They improve inbound supply and on-time/in-full delivery performance.

And they significantly reduce inventory and logistics costs.

In speaking to executives and business leaders, the most common reasons for deploying a supply chain control tower are to:

  • Make significant operating improvements
  • Achieve the (seemingly) elusive end-to-end visibility for inbounds, outbounds, transportation, orders, shipments, and inventories
  • Become more agile, and respond better to customer needs, market changes and incorporate technological innovations
  • Improve on-time, in-full performance
  • Realize cost reductions

Don’t make a big mistake and miss the opportunity to realize the full potential of a Control Tower approach!
