Digitalization of Supply Chains – How to get More Value out of your Supply Chain
Today, top management teams are talking about the digitalization of supply chains end-to-end, using old as well as new technology and methodology like Internet of Things (IoT), big data technology and industry/process standardization and automation. It’s to a large extent about a skill shift, again, and this time from innovation economy to digitalization. The ongoing re-conceptualization of supply chains will open up for concepts like Industry 4.0 and Seamless Supply Chains.
Seamless Supply Chains – Will they exist?
Today, one of the most exciting topics in the supply chain debate is IoT (Internet of Things), in connection with for example “supply chain visibility end-to-end” and “Industry 4.0”,where industrial robots and other automation systems are connected and capable of reacting to market demand and responding accordingly.
Developments in Supply Chain IT and logistics are at an exciting stage
We see pioneering trends that embrace each other and will push Supply Chain Execution forward. Some examples are; Demand Driven Supply Chain (adapting supplies to real needs, still hot), Supply Chain Visibility (hotter), OmniChannel Retailing (consumers buy through various channels, such as growing e-commerce, and relate to offers pushed in-store to their smartphones, new and hot).
Understocked or overstocked – poor control over your supply chain?
Even today you find manual order processing and order generation based on bad forecasts, subjective assumptions and outdated re-ordering points. The result is delays, shortages and unnecessary costs.

You can make a supply chain more demand-driven in many ways but this has not been top of the agenda in the automotive industry. Often it is a case of deeply integrating the principal parts of the chain both technically and logically. This has generally been very successful in the automotive industry, however the supply chain is longer than that. What can be done to save time and add better rhythm to the entire chain?
