This document discusses supply chain execution (SCE) convergence. It notes that SCE convergence is vital for properly executing supply chain objectives. Without convergence, managing global partners is sub-optimized, internal operations are less efficient, and asset management performance is reduced. SCE convergence integrates and synchronizes data from all supply chain actors, converts it into meaningful information, makes the data visible with context, and helps support organizational decision-making by providing the infrastructure to act. A Gartner VP states that the next wave of value requires cross-silo process integration and synchronization of end-to-end processes across enterprises.

ConvergenceConvergence
• What it’s all about
• ‘Vital’ to properly execute S.C. objectives

3. Key Issues (Supply Chain Management)Key Issues (Supply Chain Management)
• Lack of singular view of all products/players/actions
• Lack of consistent view of all events at a point-in-
time
• Inability to see/assess downstream impact on
organization
• Very few solutions enable convergence of info across
S.C. networks

4. Without ConvergenceWithout Convergence
• Managing global (external) partners – sub-optimized
• Internal operations less efficient/effective
• Asset management performance – reduced

5. What SCE Convergence DoesWhat SCE Convergence Does
• Integrates/Synchronizes data from all actors in S.C.
• Converts data into meaningful info
• Makes data visible with situational context
• Helps support organizational decision-making
• Provides ‘infrastructure’ to act

• ‘SCE Convergence – growing need for S.C. organizations to
better orchestrate/synchronize activities across all domains’
• ‘We want to create a network view of the world – right info
sent to right parties in near real time’
• ‘Next wave of value will require cross-silo process integration’
• ‘To get to next level – organizations must synchronize end-to-
end processes like selling/buying/making across multiple
enterprises’
