The document discusses automation in supply chain management (Industry 4.0). It describes the evolution of industry from Industry 1.0 to 4.0 and how Industry 4.0 introduces automation and cyber-physical systems. It then discusses how various parts of the supply chain from suppliers to manufacturers to distributors, wholesalers, retailers can benefit from automation through tools like intelligent process automation, robotic process automation, and concepts like smart distribution, innovation, value chain and infrastructure. Specific areas that can be helped by automation at each stage are outlined. The presentation emphasizes that Industry 4.0 allows optimizing costs, improving revenues, efficiencies and visibility across the supply chain.

10. “We need to change the mindset that says, ‘ We’ve always done it
this way in the past.’
As Tesla has developed self-driving cars, we want a self-driving
supply chain ‘without pilots.’”
