"Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.” Vince Lombardi
Every organization has a supply chain. The most effective and efficient ones are closed-loop systems for moving, storing, and configuring products starting with raw materials and ending with a satisfied customer. Whether it is moving information or physical goods, nothing happens until something moves. We find supply chains in both the public and private companies in every industry, regardless of whether it produces a product or service; we find them in government and in non-profit sectors, in every corner of the globe. Supply chains can range from the simple to highly complex and from small and local to huge and worldwide. Regardless of their complexity all supply chains share three characteristics. They all follow the SCOR framework (Plan, Source, Make, Deliver, Return, and Enable); they all consist of
suppliers and customers, and they all have three requirements that although fundamental, are critical to their long term success. They are minimizing cost, minimizing cycle time, and maximizing accuracy. This webinar will lay the foundation for these requirements, discuss their validity in managing modern supply chains, and provide some ideas that while they may not provide supply chain perfection will help you catch excellence. Join us for a practical update on two key Supply Chain technologies: Drones & IoT. Drones have been in the news for a few years now, and have become accepted as a new professional tool. This webinar will review the technology, regulations, value cases, hurdles, solutions, and adoption of drones across sectors. Ground robots will also be touched on. Emphasis will be given for applicative use to logistics and supply chain. Although IoT has been around for a while, as companies are undergoing their digital transformation, gaining more data and insights on their industrial areas is critical to reducing costs and supporting new opportunities. Incorporating new AI and EDGE capabilities, IoT growth is imminent and an integral part of our clients’ strategies.
