Production and intralogistics in the consumer goods industry are currently undergoing significant changes. This is the result of rising cost pressures and the need for greater automation as well as increasing product variants and customization. The changes that are taking place also relate to the goal of digitization: Every sensor, every machine, and all people involved in the production and intralogistics processes should be able to communicate with each other at all times. The vertical and, in the next step, horizontal networking of sensors, machines and factories is the systematic further development of this digitalization.

SAP Cloud Transport Management service lets you manage software deliverables between accounts of different environments (such as Neo and Cloud Foundry), by transporting them across various runtimes. This includes application artifacts as well as their respective application-specific content. SAP Cloud Transport Management adds transparency to the audit trail of changes so that you get information about who performed which changes in your production environment, and when they did it. At the same time, SAP Cloud Transport Management enables a separation of concerns: For example, a developer of an application or of SAP Cloud content artifacts can trigger the transport of changes in a development subaccount, while the resulting import into the test, and production subaccount is handled by a central operations team

Supply Chain security is an area of significant focus and scrutiny today. A number of recent significant attacks against both hardware and software supply chains have further exposed the criticality of understanding the threats posed against manufacturers and providing sufficient mitigations. Understanding and mitigating supply chain threats starts with simply identifying the threats. The purpose of this document is to further expand on prior work and dive into the testing, provisioning, and validation phases. These phases represent potentially the most significant threat against products as they are often conducted, at least in part, by external organizations. Without an understanding of all the known threats currently present, it would be impossible to make any assertions regarding the overall security of products and their associated supply chain

Torpedoed delivery schedules and material shortages have become the norm rather than the exception. All these factors have highlighted the importance of effective supply chain management to keep global commerce moving. Importantly, they have also accelerated the widespread adoption of best practices that are integral to a sustainable supply chain.
