Blockchain doesn’t erase the fact that supply chains still suffer from crappy data. In short, blockchain by itself does not solve the “garbage in, garbage out” data quality problem; you’ll still have garbage data, but in a distributed ledger that’s better encrypted and traceable. These nodes are distributed around the world.

This involves the placement of supply chain nodes in the accurate locations. The cost and time required also needs to be studied well. Today, technology has made it possible to use a data-driven approach to optimise the supply chain network design and forecast demand fluctuations. Manual planning can be tiring and error-prone.

Once connected, the device reads data from a wide number of vehicle sensors including engine speed sensors, oxygen sensors, voltage sensors to name just a few. Depending on the device, it transmits various types of data about how the vehicle operates and whether it faces any engine-related problem. Improved Safety on the Road.

A McKinsey study found that 90% of supply chain leaders expected to transform their planning systems. Transparency into the inter-relationships of actions clarifies their systemic impact, not just the effect on a single node. However, this learning requires large volumes of data to “train” the models.

Quality and Detail of Data and its Analysis In some of our earlier posts, we’ve stressed the importance of simplicity in distribution network design , and we will return to that topic later in this article. It would be folly not to take advantage of data availability and accessibility.

The 26 th Annual Third-Party Logistics Study – sponsored by NTT Data, Penske, and Penn State – was released a week ago. Cold chain logistics is a complex problem because of the multiple nodes and parties involved in moving chilled or frozen goods. This is a report I read every year.

So as it moves through each node in the supply chain, it’s akin to checking in, and you’re measuring these things like greenhouse gas emissions or water impact, or even material circularity. What do they need to grasp, and where should they focus their studies? It has a birth certificate and a passport.

There are many reasons why, as I’ve discussed in previous posts and Talking Logistics episodes , including: Supply chain data is stored in too many systems, in too many formats, across many companies and geographies. Nobody really owns or is accountable for supply chain visibility and data quality management.

What would happen if something catastrophic happened to that node? Conversely, network optimization approaches look only at your existing supply chain design, using this data to form a baseline for future improvements. True optimization needs to gather and rely on data to achieve lasting, reliable results.
