Blueprint for Supply Chain Visibility: Service-Oriented Architecture Can Help Drive Agility, Supplier Collaboration and Demand-Driven Replenishment

Tags:
supply chain management

Overview Effective supply chains are agile, with the capability to quickly respond to shifts in supply, production and demand. As well, they can enable companies to move rapidly into emerging markets, while simultaneously allowing them to take advantage of global sources of supply, production, distribution and talent. This flexibility and responsiveness, in turn, can fuel sustainable growth. Companies can facilitate the creation of agile supply chains by establishing a blueprint that enables visibility of all aspects of their globally integrated supply chains. The paper believes service-oriented architecture can provide the foundation for that blueprint.
