managing a connected supply chain – key imperatives & considerations at automotive logistics,...
DESCRIPTION
Supply chains continue to become more complex, globally distributed and volatile. Whether it is demand variability, fulfillment risks, natural calamities or commodities shortages, the traditional siloed approaches are inadequate for managing end to end supply chains. The speaker will examine some of the key imperatives for end to end visibility, alignment and synchronization and discuss practical considerations as automotive companies launch supply chain transformation initiatives.TRANSCRIPT

Complexity in Automotive Supply ChainLegacy Supply Chain Management is Inadequate
• Incomplete Representation of Supply Chain
• Large Amount of Data Spread Across Functional Silos / Applications
• Slow Response to Changes Due to Long Planning Cycles and Decision Latency
• Lack of understanding of “Capability to Fulfill” given demand & supply volatility
