Resilient Supply Chains and the Technology Behind Them
“The COVID-19 pandemic has created chaos in supply chains, exposing the value in having agile, resilient supply chain management. Supply chains are currently operating below capacity and drops in revenue have hindered investments in innovation in many cases. However, this crisis has spurred interest in digitalized solutions and this will likely be a significant area of investment in the coming years.”
A recent McKinsey study found that the average supply chain has a digitization level of 43%, the lowest of five business areas that were examined.
The same McKinsey research suggests that, on average, companies that aggressively digitize their supply chains can expect to boost annual growth of earnings before interest and taxes by 3.2%—the largest increase from digitizing any business area—and annual revenue growth by 2.3%.
