Current Situation
Procurement and supply chain teams are only able to see one level within the supply base. This limited view allows issues with supplier’s suppliers and beyond to escape unnoticed or not come up until it is too late causing late deliveries, customer issues and massive resourcing efforts by procurement.
Goals and Objectives
Tier N visibility is active allowing purchase part supply chain issues to be viewed, monitored and remedied by not only the supply but also the ultimate buyer/customer.
Technology Deployed
Enterprise Hardware, Personal devices, Cloud, Big data/analytics, Mobile, Applications, Connectivity Services, Cognitive, Next Generation Security, Blockchain
Use Case Summary
Comprehensive Tier N Visibility, Monitoring and Remedy enables monitoring and the ability to remedy a supplier issue because of the visibility of all suppliers in the network.
