2. Over 30 years, Supply Chain has undergone tremendous Changes – from
Pure Operational logistic Function to a strategic one
Introduction 1/2
Supply Chain becoming more and more complicated
Competition is no longer between companies, but
between Supply Chains

3. Supply Chain as a Network
Introduction 2/2
The supply-chain function ensures that operations are
well-integrated, from suppliers through to customers,
with decisions on cost, inventory, and customer service
made from an end-to-end perspective rather than by each
function in isolation

4. Supply Chain 4.0 is SCM that applies the Industry 4.0 innovations
• The Internet Of Things (IOT) – On line transactions
• Advanced Robotics – To automate processes
• Block Chain – To increase transparency
• Analytics, and big data – To identify trend and forecasting
Digitization and how it affects Supply Chains

6. • Digitization creates Disruptions and Companies must constantly re-think
the way they design their supply Chains
• To build on the current trend of constantly changing consumer
requirements, and enable a wide range of new technologies, supply
chains need to become much faster and much more precise
Digitization disruptions and way forward

7. The digitization of the supply chain enables companies to address the new
requirements of customers, the challenges on the supply side, and the
remaining expectations in efficiency improvement. Digitization leads to a
Supply Chain 4.0, which becomes…
• Faster (Predictive shipping)
• More Flexible (“Uberization” of transport)
• More Efficient (“Robotization” of Warehousing)
• More Accurate (Supply Chain Cloud)
• More Granular (drone delivery, Mass Customisation possible)
Benefits

8. • Digital Supply Chain is not just about gathering technologies and
build capabilities.
• Companies must also find people with the right skills, and
manage the shift to a culture that’s willing to carry out the effort.
In other words, they must transform their entire organization.
• This creates opportunities for growth and specialization on such
technologies and its application in work process.
Don’t be left behind… learn as much as you can.

9. The transparency that comes with Digitization will enable companies not
just to react to disruptions but to anticipate them, modeling the network,
creating “what-if” scenarios, and adjusting the supply chain immediately
as conditions change.
The goal of the digital supply chain is ambitious: to build an altogether new
kind of supply network that’s both resilient and responsive.
