Kinaxis has just published its latest white paper entitled “Structuring the outsourced supply chain data model: 10 critical data issues to consider.”  With most manufacturers outsourcing a growing percentage of their business, the issues related to supply chain visibility and supply chain planning are increasingly complex.  Develop a robust strategy to conduct supply chain management in such an environment is an operational necessity, but a challenging one that many manufacturers struggle with.  This paper sheds new light on critical considerations to achieve these objectives.

Below is the complete abstract for the paper:

Increasing supply chain complexity (as a result of outsourced manufacturing operations) is driving the requirement for more complex supply chain planning data models. Learn about ten critical data issues that need to be considered when structuring a supply chain model for maximum utility. This paper covers capturing core data from partners, modeling contractual terms, and simulating supply alternative strategies.

Creating a robust data model that can best deliver a real time supply chain will drive superior operations performance and customer service. Is that not a strategic necessity in today’s unforgiving business environment?
