Improvements and innovations in technology inevitably dictate changes in the way any industry or sector behaves. Manufacturing has been disrupted by technology since before the Industrial Revolution, and that disruption does not seem to be going away any time soon. This hasn’t only changed the way manufacturers operate from a physical standpoint, but also the way they analyze their own performance and efficiency. No longer are manufacturing companies looking only inside of their factories to monitor performance – now they are extending the supply chain in both directions to evaluate their standing among end users and second and third-tier suppliers.
It is far easier now than ever before to collect and analyze data from deep within the supply chain. This means that manufacturers can use loads of end-user and supplier data to help them come up with stronger, more efficient solutions for their everyday operations. It isn’t just about pleasing the next warehouse in the line of production. It’s about ensuring that every consumer is happy with the final product and that vendors and suppliers are working seamlessly with the manufacturer to create an experience that benefits every party along the way.
However, data analysis can leave a sense of feeling trapped and that it’s not providing the full utility you desire from it. The end of the supply chain consists of shipping, shipment tracking, and invoicing all of which add on to this sense of overwhelm.
