Challenges in supply chain management

There are a number of trends affecting supply chain execution. For example, digitisation and automation are changing the role of humans in the workplace. Demand forecasting, inventory management and route optimisation; these are just three examples where technology helps the human planner to work smarter and more efficiently.

Sustainability and climate awareness

Sustainability and climate awareness influence all links in the supply chain. The climate awareness of end users is increasing, as is that of governments. Legislation and regulations are following this trend. All parties in the chain are feeling the resulting pressure.

Sustainability is not the only reason to move production processes back to their home countries or nearby regions. Pandemics, pirates, wars, blockades, strikes, natural disasters; global supply chains are under constant pressure. To reduce risks in the supply chain, many companies are looking local again.

Consumers and business buyers expect customisation.

This can involve a very simple addition, such as printing a child’s name on a lunch box. But it can also involve sophisticated configurations. This gives the customer order release point (the moment in process where the product is made customer-specific) a completely different place in the chain. Where do you put your stock in such a case? And what exactly do you need to have in stock? Flexibility and advanced data analysis will become more important than ever in this new future.

However, when the supply chain is done right, there are tangible benefits.
