What are Today’s Executives Worried About?

Supply chain complexity is a growing operational challenge for more than 85% of supply chain executives.*

Only 27% of companies say they know their total costs.** The average global manufacturer has roughly 150

systems in place, making integration, coordination, and synchronization a nightmare.**

63% of executives surveyed were highly concerned about risks within the extended supply chain (their vendors and customers.)*

By 2016, less than 20% of companies will be able to provide end-to-end supply chain visibility.***

Disconnect between planning and operations

Disconnect between multiple parties – internal and external

The end result– Cannot see problems until too late– Once problem identified, too slow to react
