As pressures on the supply chain increase, companies must continue to balance cost reduction, proper inventory levels and customer service. At the same time, supply chains must adapt to a global and more collaborative environment. Companies, suppliers and retailers are increasingly using technology to obtain a single, shared view of the supply chain.
Other challenges include:
- Rapid consolidation across market sectors and the need to quickly assimilate mergers and acquisitions into existing infrastructures.
- A shift towards proactive commerce, which requires improved planning, forecasting, and operational execution of the supply chain.
- A demand for tighter governance of capital expenditures and greater accountability to investors.
- Higher expectations for service, usability and flexibility.
- The need for increased data granularity and integrity.
