Future of Supply Chain

Published October 2015

SCM World surveyed its CSCO community about the future of supply chain, and collected insight into disruptive technologies, sustainability, globalization and leadership. The resulting report explores:

• How big data and digitization of the supply chain allow for increased responsiveness

• A deeper, more customer-centric approach driven by predictive analytics

• The global supply chain’s transformation into a strategically leveraged network of local supply chains – in a word, reshoring

• The new set of skills required for the next generation of supply chain leaders

It is an exciting time to be a supply chain professional. The very technologies that are driving so much complexity are also providing a new set of tools to increase our awareness of what’s happening in the value chain and improve our ability to respond.
