Introduction
Plan, design, and operate global supply chains
Supply Chain Managers (SCM) develop and oversee enormous international logistics flows of goods and information. Products we need and use on a daily basis, from electric toothbrushes to smartphones to cars, don’t just pop out of thin air. SCM steers the overall process, from supply to storage to delivery, meticulously coordinating every aspect, while keeping environmental issues, such as carbon or waste reduction in mind. At the same time, they have to react to new technologies, such as the Internet of Things, where objects are constantly connected and able to exchange data with each other. This technology promises enormous advancements and increased efficiency. Access to the most recent data allows for making data-supported decisions, helping companies to be better, faster, and more reliable than their competition.
