Supply Chain Digitalization

1.    What is Supply Chain Digitalisation

Supply chain digitalisation creates opportunities for connecting disparate systems in the supply chain to enable communication within and across organizations to create a single source of truth for information. Digitized supply chains allow you to accurately visualize your upstream and downstream supply chain activities. They empower your procurement planning and sourcing and enable supply chain and logistics teams to collaborate, automate and effectively leverage data analytics to fulfill customer needs and improve decision making.

 

2.    What Participants will learn

You will learn about existing and emerging digital technologies used in supply chain management. Participants will explore how to create a digital supply chain network as well as how analytics can be implemented to improve supply chain performance. Finally, participants will learn about how digitalization can be leveraged to enhance supply chain functions.
