| 摘要： | TODAY THE LIFEBLOOD OF BUSINESS IS DATA. How companies leverage data is what separates leaders from laggards. This is especially true for supply chain and logistics functions. The key is knowing what data you need, and how it should be organized, stored and shared to transform it to drive insights and power the supply chain growth engine. Resilience capabilities, growth strategies, cost optimization, and customer centricity in the supply chain all require the right approach to data-and when coupled with the right advanced capabilities, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), will provide the needed visibility and insights to achieve and exceed business objectives. This is how supply chain and logistics teams can go from ones and zeros to supply chain heroes. Data is one of the biggest challenges that executives face in building intelligent customer-centric supply chains. Many companies underestimate the value of a data strategy, and the legacy programs they're still using are not fully capable of supporting a truly data-driven enterprise that drives timely insights. Companies need to first understand what data they need to capture, how to ingest, transform and store it and then determine which advanced technologies can be utilized to pivot from descriptive (what happened) insights to predictive and prescriptive (what will happen) insights. The lack of collaboration between the business and IT on data standardization and integrity limits a company's ability to drive meaningful reporting and analytics to support beyond the day-to-day tasks. For example, many shippers today still collect transactional data at an aggregate level, lumping in total shipment costs with fuel surcharges, accessorial, and linehaul costs as one value. |
