Supply Chain Visibility: By The Numbers
Article from MHI Solutions Magazine
Accenture considers two forms of visibility. Structural visibility is achieved through supply chain mapping, classic risk management, network assessment and modeling. Dynamic visibility is gained through monitoring of the supply chain in real time, leveraging predictive and prescriptive capabilities to gauge and avert potential supply chain disruptions, and autonomous execution utilizing artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotic systems to automatically adjust operations without human intervention. A survey of 30 top supply chain leaders provides insight into how widely these visibility strategies have been implemented.
Structural Visibility
- 83% perform supply chain mapping on a regular basis
- 90% regularly perform classic risk management
- 77% perform network simulation/optimization/modeling of their supply chain
Dynamic Visibility
- 77% are using…
