Key Capabilities of a Digital Supply Chain Network

The Key Capabilities of a Digital Supply Chain Network

Providing the right product at the right time with the highest level of customer service and least landed cost has become much more than a planning problem. A unified planning and execution platform running a single version of the truth (SVOT) across a multi-party, multi-tier digital supply chain network powered by advanced, prescriptive analytics is now required. The existing hub and spoke style of today’s “enterprise centric” systems is no longer sufficient. Here are the key capabilities the Digital Supply Chain Network™ must have to meet the demands of today's global supply chains...

How Network-Based Planning Can Lead Supply Chains Out of Crisis

Today, supply chain disruptions remain a significant problem. A lack of visibility is at the core of the dilemma. Bottlenecks are occurring in sectors that aren’t equipped for the ebb and flow of production created by the pandemic. Many companies are still betting on traditional enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, which provides the ability to interact only with trading partners one level up and one level down. That approach is incapable of providing the rapid connectivity, end-to-end visibility and responsiveness required across global supply chains today. There is a better way, in the form of network-based supply chain software that gathers all trading partners into a consolidated ecosystem, from end-consumer through tier 2 and 3 suppliers. By matching supply with demand, companies can deliver the right product at the right time, with the highest customer service levels at the least landed cost.

Digital Twins: A Business' Better Half

Digital twins enable supply chain professionals to monitor and analyze business problems in a safe environment, virtually testing solutions before applying them in real life. Although traditionally discussed in relation to physical manufacturing operations, they can be particularly effective when applied to the more abstract concepts of supply chain network planning, operations and execution. Examples of these opportunities include improving node-to-node movements across a network, driving policies that improve the customer experience, and solving many problems that present themselves during planning and execution. One Network's Joe Bellini explains why supply chain digital twins are integral to a real-time Digital Supply Chain™ Network.

Global Trade: Omnichannel is Everything

Omnichannel is Everything – How the Pandemic has Made Direct-to-consumer a Priority and is Upending the Old Supply Chain Model

The events of 2020 demonstrated that to succeed, maximize resilience, and ensure business continuity, companies need to utilize every available channel – e-commerce, direct-to-consumer, retail stores, distributors, and marketplaces like Amazon. That way if one channel is disrupted, whether by natural or man-made causes, the show will go on. In this environment, enterprise and functional silos, coupled with batch processes, won’t do.
