SPECTRA - SUPPLY CHAIN & INTELLIGENCE REDEFINED
Organizations are facing internal and external supply chain challenges with rising customer expectations. Intense competition combined with insufficient insights on demand, supply, pricing strategy, product mix and the market, may further impact business growth.
In manufacturing or retail, information has replaced real assets as the pivot for decision-making and the insightful action. It is imperative for the organizations to use internal and external data in order to gain in-depth knowledge of the market and evolving customer needs. With the gained knowledge organizations can streamline their operations accordingly.
Challenges in managing efficient supply chain:
- Lack of real time data visibility.
- Lack of synchronization between inventory planning & demand planning.
- Frequent stock-outs or excess inventory.
- Lack of flexibility in network & distribution to prioritize service levels or cost to serve.
