Put your hands up if you have no customers or suppliers.

山姆从椅子上弹出,准备跑入装载湾。这是一个寒冷,潮湿,大风的夜晚,但他的外套仍然在椅子的后面。计划的较晚改变意味着他的团队没有准备好。他的轮班经理在工厂上出去,无处可见。他的运营团队是否意识到需要锁定筒仓42的装载阀?如果没有,40吨的聚合物价值为6万美元,将直接穿过该开放式阀门,并导致生产停止的成本约为20倍。作为物流公司的经理,为工厂的所有者服务者提供服务,这不是他想犯的错误。

Yet businesses everywhere run this risk. Production plans often have to change to meet a valuable, urgent order at late notice. A late switch of grade or change of plan has a greater impact the further down the manufacturing process you go—so for a logistics function at the very end of the process the impact can be huge and the time to react short.

Never has it been more important to use real-time data to good effect. Suppliers want to react faster, to take advantage of the smallest advantage. Customers expect this kind of agility and build long and profitable relationships with suppliers who can meet their needs. Where once there was an acceptance that B2B operated under different rules to B2C, now we all expect excellent service in our work lives too—and reward it with loyalty.

当然,实时运行数据是t的一部分he story; the rest is locked up in your data warehouse, ERP, CRM, OEE or any of the other myriad systems around the enterprise. The context of a developing situation is in there in the purchase orders, maintenance reports and other data. Bringing this together with real-time data gives genuine visibility and allows everyone involved to react appropriately to developing situations.

The technology is available today to de-risk business processes and so build trust into our relationships and agility into our enterprises. We start by bringing together real-time and enterprise data, making it available to the whole virtual team regardless of their organisation structure or corporate identity.

回到山姆的办公室,当他去上门时,他检查了办公室拐角处的大屏幕电视。筒仓42已锁定,准备好产品。在加载湾,他的轮班经理只是在审查iPad上的加载计划。他抬起头,给他一个欢快的波浪,耸耸肩说:“顾客吗?你能做什么?”
