Verbatim at Logichem…. During the last 2 days
“Volatility”
“Flexibility”
“Speed”
“Networks”
“Collaboration”
“Open borders between partners”
“Involve customers, suppliers and service providers”
“Increase visibility across the Supply Chain….”
Ironically most of the systems that are supposed to enable this change are:
Proprietary, Intra-company focused,
Installed behind firewalls, costly, take time to install…

The Trouble with Supply Chain Visibility
Everybody seeks supply chain visibility and control.

Few have it. IT systems fail at “inter-enterprise”.
Supply Chain Agility

Visibility Velocity Variability
Multi-enterprise Value Chains

2 CONTEXT Globalization Outsourcing Collaboration
Process optimization across value chains
Single-Company IT Systems
3 INFRASTRUCTURE “Closed” ERP data and process model
Data locked up in partner systems
Over 50% of value chain data is locked up in partner systems.
