We hear a lot about emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics. We hear less about one of the enabling technologies that makes the others possible: The Cloud. As Gary Forger, SCMR’s special projects editor, writes in this month’s lead story, the Cloud has only reached a portion of its potential in the supply chain. Yet, he notes, “the Cloud, in all its forms, enables data sharing never before possible and allows the supply chain to work more effectively and proactively.” The experts Forger spoke to expect this to change, if for no other reason than the Cloud is so foundational to tomorrow’s supply chains. Indeed Cloud-based technologies were among the top 10 technologies SCMR readers said they intend to adopt in the next two years in a recent survey we conducted with Peerless Research.
This month’s issue also brings an insightful article on the state of analytics in warehousing and distribution from the research team that conducts an annual survey on the topic for the Warehousing and Education Research Council (WERC). One key takeaway: Companies are eager to adopt analytics, but in many instances lack the talent in their organizations to make use of them.
This issue also brings you the next installment of Steven A. Melnyk’s series on the future of the strategic supply chain and the supply chain manager of tomorrow. In this article, Melnyk and his co-authors focus on making the most of performance metrics.
We round out the issue with a look at how to tap into people with disabilities as a new source of talent in the supply chain, and what to expect from new shipping emissions standards that take effect in January 2020.
