What are the key takeaways?
1. Supply Chain Execution (SCE) solutions that include Collaborative Production Management, Warehouse and Transportation Management is a key growth area.
2. Supply Chain Synchronization – The role of a manufacturing plant is becoming the focal point in a supply chain network and is often the determining factor of its overall performance. While costs remain an important issue of performance in the customer-centric and demand-driven environments, other factors such as time-to-volume, determining the correct product mix, and having the flexibility, adaptability, and responsiveness to exploit market opportunities are increasingly becoming important to success. Supply chain synchronization depends on supply chain solutions that provide accurate real-time information from operations to enable improved decision-making at all levels of the company and for trading partners in the supply chain.
