A brave new supply chain world is emerging – will you be at the vanguard?
In the coming years, supply chains will need to undergo significant changes if they are to deliver value to businesses in what will be a complex, fast-moving, fragmented, consumer-centric environment. Now is the time to prepare to adapt and take action to initiate change so your supply chain can evolve to meet the challenges of changing geopolitical conditions, customer demand and regulation – not to mention the increase in personalization and the need to embrace sustainability and the circular economy.
From rigid and reactive to nimble and active four pillars of the supply chain of the future
We envision a radical shift of global supply chains to atomized “Centers of Gravity”. Here are the four statements that articulate our view of how the supply chain of the future will be radically different from today.
By 2035, supply chain and operations will be localized, minimalist and virtual, according to our proprietary insights. This will be driven by sustainability and the integration of data-driven artificial intelligence, advanced robotics, and virtual reality.
2035 a resilient, circular, localized, data-driven and digital future
All this will combine to revolutionize logistics and transport to improve processes and enhance efficiency. Companies will operate within a highly interconnected and automated ecosystem, optimizing every aspect of the supply chain in real time.
Logistics and transport will be revolutionized
Energy efficiency, new freight technologies and local procurement will result in completely new logistics and transport models.
Data will rule as robots take over
Data will be the heart and backbone of every business model and will drive intelligent, autonomous, and predictable supply chains.
The shift to a sustainable reality will make the circular economy real
Sustainability will be non-negotiable and integrated into every part of the supply chain, with organizations making circularity an integral part of their operating model.
Localization will be the New Globalization
Global supply interdependencies will lose importance – the future supply chain will move from a global model to multiple Centers of Gravity.
