Bringing Clarity to Visibility Solution Investments

摘要

Visibility is understanding the location and current status of key assets -whether on-time shipments or inventory stockouts. Visibility boils down to three elements: orders, shipments against orders, and inventory.Visibility is hard to quantify. Companies may make incremental improvements where pain is the greatest without investing in a more holistic visibility solution. What makes it even more difficult is that visibility involves players outside the enterprise-suppliers, carriers, and manufacturers-and trying to get these partners to collaborate toward mutual benefit.
