Digital Transformation in Supply Chain

What is happening?

The future is about people and technology. Shifting economic landscape and technology disruption means enterprises need to transform and reinvent themselves. Industry 4.0 creates a disruption and requires companies to rethink the way they design their supply chain. Several technologies have emerged that are altering traditional ways of working. These technological advancements are radically impacting global supply chains, transforming how businesses manage their own organisation and the supply chain network. In the field of Supply Chain Management, we call this “Supply Chain 4.0”. With Supply Chain 4.0, besides the need to adapt, supply chains also could reach the next horizon of operational effectiveness, leverage emerging digital business models, and transform the company into a digital supply chain.
