Download or read book The Digitalization of the 21st Century Supply Chain written by Stuart M. Rosenberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this book is to gain a clear picture of the current status and future challenges with regard to the digitalization of the supply chain – from the perspective of the suppliers, the manufacturers, and the customers. They were the target groups of the book. Digitization has touched upon all aspects of businesses, including supply chains. Technologies such as RFID, GPS, and sensors have enabled organizations to transform their existing hybrid (combination of paper-based and IT-supported processes) supply chain structures into more f lexible, open, agile, and collaborative digital models. Unlike hybrid supply chain models, which have resulted in rigid organizational structures, unobtainable data, and disjointed relationships with partners, digital supply chains enable business process automation, organizational flexibility, and digital management of corporate assets. In order to reap maximum benefits from digital supply chain models, it is important that companies internalize it as an integral part of the overall business model and organizational structure. Localized disconnected projects and silo-based operations pose a serious threat to competitiveness in an increasingly digital world. The technologies discussed in this text – artificial intelligence, 3D printing, Internet of things, etc. – are beginning to come together to help digitize, automate, integrate, and improve the global supply chains. It’s certainly an exciting and challenging time for both new supply chain professionals and long-time supply chain professionals.

Download or read book Conceptualizing and capturing digital transformation s customer value a logistics and supply chain management perspective written by Junge, Anna Lisa and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis aims to add knowledge that contributes to answering the question of how digital transformation technologies can contribute to increasing customer value in logistics and supply chain management (L&SCM), and how manufacturing companies can mindfully use them. The output of the thesis is an architectural framework that proposes performance components, approaches and methodologies that can help in capturing this customer value. To build the basis for such a framework, this research first deduces and presents the underlying definition of digital transformation and describes its potential for, as well as current barriers for its application in, L&SCM. The study uses a systematic literature review to identify nine underlying digital transformation technology bundles. These are: auto-identification technologies; information and communication technologies; the cloud; cyber physical systems; analytics; distributed ledger; automation technologies; augmented and virtual reality; and additive manufacturing. These technologies served as inputs for a nominal group technique workshop aiming to conceptualize the dimensions of customer value based on the technologies. The derived dimensions are information disclosure, time, product/production, service/assistance, quality, choice options, and planning. Based on these findings, this thesis presents an impact assessment for customer-based L&SCM performance. The three-plus-one customer value propositions are availability, servitization, co-creation, and cognition as enhancement. Expert interviews provide the data for the architectural framework for capturing customer value based on digital transformation technologies in L&SCM. The six dimensions covered are the customer value proposition; the value portfolio; scope of collaboration; human resource management and organization; performance management; as well as the (re-)adjusting value assessment. The main scientific contribution lies in conceptualizing the customer value for L&SCM based on digital transformation technologies whereas the architectural framework constitutes the main practical contributions. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die Frage zu beantworten, wie digitale Transformationstechnologien dazu beitragen und bewusst eingesetzt werden können, um den Kundennutzen in Logistik und Supply Chain Management (L&SCM) von produzierenden Unternehmen zu erhöhen. Das Ergebnis ist ein architektonischer Rahmen, der Leistungskomponenten, Ansätze und Methoden vorschlägt, wie dieser Kundenmehrwert erfasst und umgesetzt werden kann. Um die Grundlage für das Framework zu schaffen, leitet diese Arbeit zunächst die zugrunde liegende Definition für digitale Transformation ab und beschreibt deren Potentiale sowie die aktuellen Barrieren für L&SCM. Die relevanten neun digitalen Transformationstechnologiebündel werden auf Basis einer systematischen Literaturanalyse identifiziert. Es handelt sich um Technologien zur automatischen Identifizierung, Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien, Cloud, cyberphysikalische Systeme, Analytics, Distributed Ledger, Automatisierungstechnologien, Augmented und Virtual Reality sowie Additive Fertigung. Diese Technologien dienen als Input für einen Nominal Group Technique-Workshop, der darauf abzielt, die Dimensionen des Kundennutzens auf der Grundlage dieser Technologien zu konzeptualisieren. Die abgeleiteten Dimensionen sind Informationsverfügbarkeit, Zeit, Produkt/Produktion, Service und Assistenzsysteme, Qualität, Auswahlmöglichkeiten und Planung. Auf der Grundlage dieser Ergebnisse wird ein Einflussmodell für kundenorientierte L&SCM Leistungen vorgestellt. Die drei plus eins Kundenwertversprechen sind Verfügbarkeit, Service, Ko-Kreation und Kognition als Zusatzkomponente bzw. Erweiterung. Experteninterviews dienen als Datenbasis für das architektonische Framework zur Erfassung des Kundennutzens auf der Grundlage digitaler Transformationstechnologien in L&SCM. Die sechs abgedeckten Dimensionen sind das Kundenwertversprechen, das Wertportfolio, Kollaboration, Personalmanagement und Organisation, Leistungsmanagement sowie die Erfassung und Bewertung des Kundenwertes. Der wichtigste wissenschaftliche Beitrag liegt in der Konzeption des Kundennutzens für L&SCM auf der Grundlage digitaler Transformationstechnologien, während der wichtigste praktische Beitrag in dem architektonischen Framework zu sehen ist.

Book excerpt: Every industry has faced the tidal wave of 'digital' that has either re-shaped or dramatically altered their modus operandi. Supporting technologies in the management information systems arena have given rise to increased end to end visibility, real time access to information, and tightly controlled monitoring of deployed assets. In many industries it is straightforward to see the impact that digital technologies have had. Finance is a great example, with cash payments becoming increasingly less and less common, and digital currencies increasing in prominence. Yet how has this impacted supply chain management? In a discipline that spans multiple industries, continents, and companies, are there examples that we can point to that explain how digital supply chains have become? Which aspects of supply chain management were transformed by the digital tidal wave, and which functions are lagging behind? This is what this volume seeks to address.Trends: what are the current trends in digital (or digitalization) supply chain management? Ideally, these trends will include all aspects of the supply chain. That is, how has the digital revolution impacted sourcing? What are the digital trends in the logistics, warehousing, and distribution industry? How has 'digital' impacted the operations and manufacturing industry? Challenges: where are the diminishing returns to digital and its inclusion in the supply chain? Are there problems related to procurement and sourcing as the digital revolution takes hold? Are logistics challenges compounded in a digital world? Is manufacturing more streamlined or are there additional complexities that need to be addressed?Solutions: Are the challenges all too overwhelming, or are there remedies that we can advance to cope with an ever increasingly digital world?
