Supply chain optimization needs to start process-first
The answer to this problem has been staring us in the face the whole time. Supply chains are one mega-process made up of lots of connected micro-processes, but traditional supply chain optimization attempts all fail to look at the very thing supply chains are made of: processes.
Because supply chain operations are governed by the processes contained within each individual link in the chain, fixing the individual processes has a huge impact on everything else. Like how you handle credit and delivery blocks. Adding intelligent automation at a couple of points can free up the flow of your whole supply chain.
By adopting a process-led supply chain transformation mindset, you can optimize your whole supply chain in a balanced way, by fixing the individual building blocks that make up the chain.
It’s the dawn of a new era for supply chain. And those who finally manage to crack transformation win big. Slick processes, stickier customer and employee experiences, and cost control tighter than a drum all make for competitive advantage that’s hard to beat.
Let’s get to it.
