Global Complexities Have a Profound Effect on Supply Chains
A multitude of forces drive today’s need for greater visibility into the supply chain.
Global supply and demand networks introduce distance, cultural and time-zone challenges.
These, in turn, create increasing complexity, which is difficult to see into and manage.
Moreover, businesses are under constant pressure to cut supply chain costs and improve cycle times while meeting customer expectations.
Ongoing mergers and acquisitions create even more complexity as each new division finds itself operating in silos and unable to leverage economies across the organization.
Such complexity makes it difficult to see what’s happening in your international supply chain in real-time. It can jeopardize supply chain performance in the management of critical activities with suppliers, and undermine the ability to meet customer demands and compete in the marketplace.
Global supply chain visibility can help combat these complexities and ensure the success of a company’s international supply chain.
