How to have a better conversation with your partners in supply chain? Visualize your supply chain ecosystem together with SCM! The traditional supply chain was linear: products went from factories to distribution centres to retail storerooms and then onto shelves. Now, the supply chain increasingly ends directly at the consumer’s front door. The traditional model was more predictable and manageable than the new omnichannel ecosystem which is made up of multiple supply chains, serving many different types of consumers. In view of the need to use more organic raw materials and recycle more packaging, the supply chain ecosystem is changing rapidly. An accurate visualization is a great conversation starter and clarifies the subject. The ecosystem of household products (published last year) had 114 downloads, 591 views on YouTube and 509 pageviews on the website.
