Seeing is Achieving When it Comes to Supply Chain Visibility

Supply chain visibility has become a pretty well used term in the industry lately, almost obtaining buzzword status. On the plus side, this means there is lots of information out there for those seeking it. On the down side, some of that information is providing a very narrow view of what supply chain visibility is. For example, some think visibility is simply a track-and-trace of data, materials or final products, that it’s focused on a single tier of your supply chain, or that it’s limited to just ‘seeing the data’. True supply chain visibility – the kind that helps supply chain teams address some of today’s biggest business challenges (namely, the impact of increasing supply chain complexity and rising supply chain management costs) – is so much broader than that.
