Supply Chain Control Tower Solutions to Conquer Disruption

Make Resilience, Responsiveness and Agility Your Competitive Advantages

Download PDF
Managing the complexity of your supply chain is an enormous challenge. Changing consumer behaviors, suppliers with independent systems and digital transformation limit your end-to-end visibility even during the best of times. The COVID-19 pandemic proved that global supply chains are especially vulnerable. Unpredictable events can cut off sources of raw materials, create geographical barriers, threaten transportation and change consumer demand. Traditional enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems may not provide visibility and adaptability across the extended, fragmented chain without additional extensions. Businesses unprepared for these risks will fall behind competitors who saw change coming. Stay ahead of these supply chain disruptions with solutions for intelligent, digital supply chain control towers for end-to-end visibility and data-rich insight. With a supply chain control tower solution, you can anticipate and plan for disruption, creating resilience and giving yourself an edge over competitors.

High-Risk Disruption to Supply Chains Threatens Your Bottom Line

Managing supply chains in times of disruption requires a different focus. Your entire network may require reconfiguration, alternative supply routes and different suppliers, new components, reconfigured assembly lines, contract manufacturers, or new routes to market. If you've analyzed your supply chain's flexibility and adaptability, understand the potential risks and build in the appropriate resilience, you'll stand the greatest chance of managing effectively through the disruption.

It only takes one disruption in a global supply chain to set off a chain of events that could have been alleviated with deep data and predictive insights.

Supply Chain Control Towers That Predict Disruption To Build Autonomous Resilience

With a supply chain control tower solution powered by Hitachi’s Lumada Manufacturing Insights, you can optimize your supply chain and track indicators to anticipate disruption. Hitachi’s digital supply chain solutions integrate data and information across your supply chain, from the supplier’s supplier to the customer’s customer. Reach beyond your ERP for borderless visibility fueled by autonomous monitoring and tracking. Hitachi’s solutions are embedded with process intelligence so you can monitor your processes, use IoT sensors for tracking and quality assurance, and generate predictive algorithms to recognize and mitigate disruption.

We work with you to co-create the right approach. Our solutions are modular and highly configurable so you can build the resilience to withstand disruption and the agility to capitalize on opportunities.

Highly Configurable, Extensible Modules Customized for Your Needs

Risk Monitoring and Decision Support
