Building an Agile Supply Chain
The Agile Supply Chain Credo is a roadmap to create an operating model that responds to demand shifts and supply uncertainty.
The demands on today’s supply chain are increasing at an accelerated pace. Add the need to respond to an ever growing number of disruptive events, and it is clear that most supply chain models are insufficient to meet these challenges.
This credo is a set of guiding principles designed to help navigate the digital supply chain transformation journey. Consider this credo the north star to create an agile supply chain that brings more speed, efficiency, flexibility, and reliability across the entire value chain.
