Written by Shane Wood | Nov 11, 2020 6:20:32 PM

There’s an old Chinese Proverb that states: “The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is now.” The latest shock to supply chains finds some companies reaping the rewards of past investments into supply chain digitization and assessing where to invest next, while others suddenly feel a strong sense of urgency to begin investing more into this space today. 

 

No matter where your company sits in this journey, in this “how to guide” we help you diagnose the supply chain data challenges and opportunities that are fundamental to supply chain digitization efforts. We also include a data capture guide and template for you to download and use, video instructions on mapping your supply chain, and a case study to illustrate the tangible impact that enhanced data and analytics can make on your supply chain.

The guide is based on the consulting methodology our Supply Chain Solutions team uses with our customers across the globe and was based on the thousands of hours of supply chain analytics we have performed over the past 15 years. You will find that the processes outlined in the guide can be directly applied to your real-world data initiatives.
