Managed Supply Chain Operations

Change is pervasive, necessary, and critical in today’s complex global network. Understanding the various paths and pitfalls of change, or the landscape of change, is critical for supply chain managers who wish to safely navigate through its opportunities and dangers.

New imperatives including emerging markets, sustainability, and heightened risks require that supply-chain leaders understand the need to drive change smartly and effectively. In addition, global integration is rife with challenges and requires that successful leaders start with a unified vision, executive leadership, and the best and brightest of talent.

• Increased globalization through outsourcing, which elongates end-to-end supply chains
• Additional regulatory compliance imposed by government entities, further complicating international trade
• Increased levels of economic uncertainty, which create additional variability in supply and demand
• Shorter product lifecycles and rapid rates of technology change, which increase inventory obsolescence
• Demanding customers who have created additional time-to-market pressures by requiring better on-time delivery, order fill rates, and overall service level efficiencies
• Supply side capacity constraints that make it more difficult to meet demand requirements
• Natural disasters and external environmental events that wreak havoc on global supply chains
