Technology Trends in SCM

At the heart of today’s dynamic supply chains is a continuous, technology-enabled adoption cycle that will help manufacturing partners proactively detect emerging risks and opportunities, expedite exception resolution and capture opportunities, and continually improve their operational processes, all these across enterprise and international boundaries.

The transformation of today's linear manufacturing supply chains into dynamic supply networks will be supported by four emerging technologies; Web services, extended Internet (in short, the X Internet (or Extended Internet) is comprised of the myriad linkages between the physical world and the digital world. This burgeoning and utilitarian technology could prove to be the next big wave in the Information Age.) , agent-based software and pervasive mobile computing.

More about these technologies in the next few posts. Stay tuned.
