Solutions

The challenges facing logistics, transportation, and supply chain managers such as fuel surcharges, lack of transportation capacity, increased variability in order-cash cycles, and on-time deliveries are beyond their direct control and so execution alone won‘t accomplish the objective of maximizing effectiveness and efficiency in the supply chain. Building adaptive supply chains that optimize strategy, planning and execution will enable firms to transform themselves from independent actors composed of independent parts and independent goals into collaborative parties in pursuit of a fully consumer-demand-driven supply chain.

Demand-driven supply chains don‘t operate under typical business rules. What‘s different is the speed at which customer (or consumer) requirements change; the flexibility of the supply chain to respond to environmental changes; the increased numbers of involved parties; product innovation and proliferation; and the rate at which knowledge is generated and disseminated across rapidly shrinking international boundaries and enterprise processes. How effective an enterprise manages, anticipates and responds to these market changes will be determined ultimately by its ability to keep the right products in the right quantity for the right customer.
