Hello,
Below are my latest SC Tech Insight articles on the technology trends reshaping supply chains. The pace of technological disruption in our industry is relentless. To extract maximum value from these insights, you must understand how I view modern supply chains. I no longer see them as a disjointed, linear string of logistics functions.
Here is what a supply chain truly is today:
“A value-creation, cyclical network where information, financials, resources, and relationships are cross-functionally and dynamically managed from raw material origin through transport of product to end-customers and the completion of the post-delivery lifecycle, with the goal of maximum service, resiliency, and financial realization.”
When you read these articles through this strategic lens, the path to optimizing your own network will become clear. Dive in, and please use our contact page to share your feedback.
Thank You,
Randy McClure
