Remember when supply chain issues weren’t making headlines? When your role as executive expert of keeping the supply wheels turning was still under the radar? Changed a bit, hasn’t it?
Shortages, price spikes, fuel costs, work stoppages, natural disasters, and mounting geopolitical concerns are now causing those wheels to ground to a halt—and to take business profitability with it.
Then add in the predominance of manual processes within supply chains that result in inefficiencies and communication shortfalls. While these issues have always existed in the industry, they’ve been exacerbated by events of the last few years.
While these challenges are difficult to navigate, they’re not impossible for a knowledgeable supply chain executive like you: one who, if you only had the right tools, you could unleash your alter-ego, the Supply Chain Mastermind. You could use your brainpower to create a superior supply chain that is the envy of your peers and competitors. You could craft the most robust supply chain from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean.
Many companies, however, lack the technological advantages to build such a supply chain easily—technologies revolutionizing other industries such as communications and automotive. If you could seize those technologies and the technical knowledge that come with them, you could streamline, automate, and simplify processes. This evolution would free you to focus on significant issues and thrive in the modern manufacturing environment.
The good news is that these tools are available to you, Mastermind. And these technologies can provide quick, early wins that earn buy-in from those who hold the purse strings.
