Recapturing your supply chain data
The folks over at the McKinsey Quarterly have written a piece entitled “Recapturing your supply chain data” (free subscription required). This is a great article for anyone that’s outsourced manufacturing.
The emphasis of this article is consistent with our new RapidResponse Glass Pipeline capabilities that enable brand owners, manufacturers and suppliers to tap into the data throughout their extended supply chain in order to facilitate more rapid response to change using our on-demand RapidResponse service. Unique to these Glass Pipeline capabilities is a new RapidResponse-to-RapidResponse connection that can be setup by users and allows a brand owner, for example, to tap into data at their contract manufacturers that are also running RapidResponse.
The end result is that all parties can now look at a common set of facts and have the right detail of information to act accordingly in response to highly volatile businesses. This supply chain visibility helps deliver greater supply chain collaboration to increase the effectiveness of demand management, new product introductions and engineering changes, manage inventory liability, etc.
