Developments in AI\/ML and multi-enterprise data integration are coming just as companies are facing potential labor and talent shortages, operational cost pressures and a strategic need to increase visibility, responsiveness, and collaboration. Considering the classical business notion of focusing on competitive advantages and the long-held desire to increase automation, it appears we are nearing a moment where tech vendors will be positioned to offer supply chain orchestration as a service to both relieve operational pressure and enhance supply chain performance.\"Just as parents release their children from the home to expand their minds, we may soon see a moment where operational and C-suite executives realize it's time to send their supply chains to school and invite the expertise of vendors that have mastered the capabilities of supply chain orchestration.\" — Eric Thompson, research director, Global Supply Chain Planning at IDC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlease Note: Extended description available upon request.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Technology \u0026 Media","offers":[{"title":"April, 2023 \/ 7 Pages \/ MCW16287833","offer_id":47715296084274,"sku":null,"price":5400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.hardmanwell.com\/products\/are-we-moving-toward-supply-chain-planning-as-a-service","provider":"HARDMAN AND WELL MANAGEMENT CONSULTANCIES L.L.C","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
