Supply Chain Execution Convergence Can Take Your Company to Next Level
July 6, 2015
More than just a buzzword, supply chain execution convergence allows for better collaboration and optimization between each team and silos in the enterprise. Rather than optimizing individual operations – transportation, warehousing and others independently – it optimizes the entire flow to get the most benefit. The idea is to bring together the individual silos within a business, from the front end to the back end, from warehousing, manufacturing, logistics, purchasing, etc., to manage the end-to-end supply chain.
Wouldn't it be great to break down the silos between those parts of the organization, and start to get the systems, processes and people working together?
