Boost your supply chain capabilities as you respond to COVID-19.
Most companies are currently focused on the near-term, with their strategies addressing the COVID-19 situation as a temporary problem. But, if businesses look at the current situation strategically and align smartly, it may potentially help propel future growth and competitive advantage for many years to come.
Five ways in which current challenges will create new capabilities for companies willing to invest:
Rapid big data processing and process automation enable real time visibility and easier management of supply chain
A new supply chain ecosystem uses advanced analytics to be more predictive, resilient and responsive
Supply chain digitisation will transform numerous key operations functions (e.g., integrated planning and execution systems, logistics visibility, autonomous logistics, smart procurement, and warehousing, spare parts management, and advanced analytics) and help move closer to a customer-centric enterprise
