It’s the one question none of us wants to hear about our supply chain.
“Where is my stuff?”
Hearing this question is especially troubling when looking at IT solutions for supply chains. A lot of time and effort, from the selection process to implementation and testing to go-live and ongoing maintenance, is taken up by supply chain IT. If the “Where is my stuff?” question and its answers point to a shortcoming in the IT system, it can be exceptionally costly for companies to overcome.
While IT solutions are supposed to make answering that question easier, in this installment of the Global Supply Chain Podcast, Matt Wilkerson and I look at how you can make that question less costly. Matt’s the expert at Tompkins Associates on supply chain visibility, and in this podcast, we have a great discussion about how companies in today's environment can work with vendors to increase their competitive advantage, the latest trends in solution usage in today's market, and about cost reduction opportunities in the areas of demand planning, transportation planning and global trade management.
