Executives from a variety of industries weighed in on their supply chain business impact, as well as cybersecurity concerns and workforce challenges.<\/p>\n<p>The resulting 2018 MHI Annual Industry Report, \u201cOvercoming Barriers to NextGen Supply Chain Adoption,\u201d confirmed the trends identified in the previous reports, says Sopher: \u201cThe next generation, digital, on-demand and always-on supply network is here. It\u2019s real. It\u2019s happening. And lots of companies have embraced it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report was released in a keynote panel discussion at MODEX 2018. In it, respondents acknowledged that today\u2019s supply chains do much more than just physically move products and materials from one location to another. Today\u2019s digital, interconnected world demands that supply chains also serve as a connected, coordinated information ecosystem that delivers maximum flexibility, visibility and transparency\u2014regardless of the manpower available.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting this, survey respondents identified their top two operational challenges as: increasing customer demands on supply chains (73%) and hiring qualified workers (64%).<\/p>\n<p>Identifying how companies are using NextGen technologies to transform supply chains into digital operations continues to be a key component of the survey. Nine technologies studied in previous reports are revisited:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Robotics and Automation<\/li>\n<li>Predictive Analytics<\/li>\n<li>Internet of Things (IoT)<\/li>\n<li>Driverless Vehicles and Drones<\/li>\n<li>Wearable and Mobile Technology<\/li>\n<li>Inventory and Network Optimization<\/li>\n<li>Sensors and Automatic Identification<\/li>\n<li>Cloud Computing and Storage<\/li>\n<li>3D Printing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Conducted at the end of 2017, this year\u2019s survey included two rapidly emerging NextGen technologies for the first time: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mhisolutions-digital.com\/mhiq\/volume_6__issue_3\/MobilePagedArticle.action?articleId=1402711&amp;app=false#articleId1402711\"><strong>Read More\u2026<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2018 MHI Annual Industry Report Highlights NextGen Innovations and How to Overcome Top Barriers to Their Adoption * By Carol Miller, MHI Vice President of Marketing and Communications * For the fifth consecutive year, MHI and the Deloitte Consulting LLP research team\u2014led by Scott Sopher, principal and leader of the Global Supply Chain Practice\u2014queried more &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":46,"featured_media":1829,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,10,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-global-trends","category-industry-trends","category-technology"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
