Today’s supply chain professional may be hungry for information but still drowning in data, never confident in how trustworthy some sources might be versus others. Pursuing supply chain transparency means expanding connections and communication across a global network of suppliers and logistics service providers, but only if you have the means to harmonize and transform disparate data. For confident decision support, some data must be augmented or presented with broader business context. Still other information should be cross-referenced with additional data streams or addressed with data science techniques to fill in gaps and gain useful forward projections or predictions. Join hosts Scott Luton and Karin Bursa from Supply Chain Now along with special guest Monica Truelsch with Infor to learn how synchronizing supply chain data across partners, technology stacks and back-office systems is key to improving supply chain performance.
