Middle: Break through to the next level of productivity

Digital supply chains enable top performers to speed up the information and product flow across the end-to-end value chain, taking human error and variability out of the equation—replacing it with speed, precision, reliability, and repeatability.

A fully digital “lights out” supply chain is soon becoming a reality

Early adopters are deriving significant value from digital solutions, big data advanced analytics, and physical and process automation. There is potential for end-to-end digitization, but the adoption still varies widely by player and by functional area within the supply chain. Leaders who are pursuing bold aspirations through rapid test-and-learn cycles will accelerate the automation and digitization journey.
