by Götz G. Wehberg (Author)
This book provides a practical
guide to digital supply chain modelling, demonstrating an agile approach
to how such models can be applied to any manufacturing company to build
competitive advantage, facilitate new business models and drive towards
Industry 4.0. The agile approach of the book provides an attractive
alternative to the conventional country-by-country deployment of S/4
HANA and other relevant technologies.
This book contains the
expertise Gotz G. Wehberg has amassed over 20 years as a senior partner
in a leading consulting company, working across industries and with
globally recognized clients, advising on digitization. In it, he
explains the scientific roots of digital supply chain management such as
holism, cybernetics, self-organization and evolutionary theory to
inform a deep understanding that can drive a supremely innovative
strategy for Industry 4.0.
Beyond strategy, Wehberg introduces
the practical tools and technologies used in supply chain modelling,
for example, sensors, big data, artificial intelligence and the Internet
of Things, as well as a reference framework that categorizes the
technologies, together with the latest concepts and tools, such as
DDMRP, predictive S&OP, pattern recognition, autonomous logistics
and Lean. This framework supports decision making for developing supply
chains in an end-to-end and cross-functional fashion, providing clear
guidance for executives and managers on how to design supply chains for
the future.
