According to a recent study by Deloitte and the Material Handling Institute, traditional supply chains will radically change over the next five to 10 years as a result of new technologies, competition and customer demands. The convergence of big data, faster and cheaper computer power, and increasing demands of customers will accelerate the adoption of innovative products and services. The speed at which supply chain innovation is being adopted-coupled with rising customer expectations for anytime, anywhere service-is stressing traditional supply chains almost to the breaking point. Nowhere is this more relevant than the in the automotive aftermarket parts industry where high volumes, increasing SKU complexity, erratic demand, short life-cycles, and complex webs of value-chain networks are the norm. Every link in the automotive value chain must learn to adopt, innovate, and integrate to keep up with the increasing pace of change and expectation.
Attendees will learn:
- Evolving technologies that are reshaping the supply chain landscape.
- Which technologies are maturing, growing and emerging.
- How to make smart decisions about technology and where to invest.
