Transparency is the key
To best manage global supply chains, the various steps from supplier to customer must become transparent – both visually and using key performance indicators. The more closely you examine your supply chain, the earlier you can recognize disruptions, introduce countermeasures, and maintain expected service levels. Supply chain visibility requires clear responsibilities, cross-function processes, and clear interfaces between partners. IT systems of participating supply chain partners must be integrated if they are to provide relevant information at the right level of detail and in real time.
