Does Your Company Have an Intelligent Supply Chain?
Thought Leadership
Third Party Logistics Results & Findings of the 11th Annual Study 2006
Executive summary of joint research report from Capgemini, DHL, SAP and the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Companies have spent a lot of time understanding how they move goods through the supply chain, but now they need to understand how to optimally organise the integrated supply chain by using the information sitting within it.
Capgemini Consulting is moving towards an intelligent supply chain – an all encompassing view that provides a very high level of visibility, enabling you to make proactive rather than reactive decisions. The need to reduce costs remains, but there is a growing realisation that unlocking value within the supply chain is crucial to delivering strategy – be that buying goods more intelligently, producing goods more efficiently or collaborating with suppliers more effectively. Companies need to take a total cost view of the supply chain and develop mutually rewarding relationships with their suppliers, customers and the ecosystem partners that enable to create an agile and intelligent supply chain.
