As business owners, we're ALWAYS looking for new ways to streamline our biz & generate MORE profits. But, with new technology services popping up all over the place, it can be hard to stay on top of the ball. That's why we broke down Digital Supply Chain Platforms to show you how to utilize these (relatively) new tools for increased cycle time, service, cost, and working capital performance. Discover EVERYTHING you need to know to streamline business by reading this article http://bit.ly/2CfgFsp

Digital Supply Chain Platform Mechanics – What is under the hood?
The drive to compete in the Digital Economy has accelerated organizations from strategy
development to investing in project deployments in the last couple of years. Areas of
investment run the gamut, but a large share are focused on digitizing global supply chains.
Projects are being enabled by new digital technology platforms (not unlike Uber, Netflix, etc.)
that streamline information, processes, machines, and human assets across value chain
ecosystems – accelerating cycle time, service, cost, and working capital performance.
Under the hood of a next generation digital platform is a real-time big data and advanced
analytics engine. These power ful engines seamlessly ingest big data and apply ar tificial
intelligence and machine learning to visualize and predict behavior, mitigate disruptions,
and optimize ef ficiency, speed and agility of end-to-end supply networks. Following is a
summar y of core components:

4. Summary of Core Components
1). Data Cleansing, Healing and Application Integration (APIs) –
ingest, cleanse, heal, curate, normalize, and harmonize
structured and unstructured data from enterprise,
ecosystem, and external business applications
and IoT devices.
2). Global Logistics and Supply Chain Behavior and Flow –
view, measure and predict behavior across multiple modes
and nodes of your supply chain. Monitor variances to
proactively solve problems – mitigate disruptions and risk,
warn customers of early or late shipments, reroute/plan
supply lanes, sources and labor requirements, and better
plan and allocate inventory.

3). Advanced Analytics and Insights –
apply artificial intelligence and machine learning
algorithms on top of real-time data sets to identify
and act on behavior outside planning and execution
tolerance thresholds. Rapidly design and deploy new
algorithms/insights to enable cross functional groups
(i.e. planners, transportation, finance, procurement,
customer operations) to drive continuous
improvement objectives.
4). Control Tower Performance Management –
customize the control tower dashboard interface to align
with how you manage your operations. Dashboard functions
allow you to visualize performance, collaborate across
functions, manage workflows and resolve issues through
control tower dashboard functions.

supply chain projects is the need to clean
data collected from multiple integration
points and disparate application systems
across the supply network. Supply chain
partners want to move quickly but are
hamstrung by current data and technology
s t a c k s . M a n y o r g a n i z a t i o n s m a i n t a i n
multiple ERPs and supply chain planning
and execution systems that are difficult to
harmonize internally, let alone integrate
with ecosystem partners and external data
and application sources.
Digital Platforms are purpose built with
sophisticated streaming and database
technologies relieving customers of the
heavy lifting – ingesting, cleansing, and
normalizing structured and unstructured
data sets (EDI, API, GPS, GSM, Flat File,
Radar, etc.) sourced from a myriad of
enterprise, ecosystem, and external data
and applications sources. In summar y
these platforms allow you to quickly “clean
house” freeing you to digitize end-to-end
processes, create visibility and predictive
insights to optimize global value chain
performance.

Digital Platforms Require Behavior Analytics to Drive Value
Supply chain professionals readily recognize the
va l u e o f r e a l - t i m e v i s i b i l i t y, b u t m o s t d o n ot
understand the implications—or value—of behavior
models. Just having visibility isn’t enough. You need
to continuously learn and understand behavior
end-to-end (between and within nodes) to fully
optimize your operations. Digital Platforms offer the
flexibility to add both new learning models and new
live structured and unstructured global data sources
on a continuous basis – enabling global behavior
machine learning methods and processes that drive
value for global supply chains.
