Supply Chain
Supporting Supply Chain Management with process digitization and innovative solutions.
Facing a global market and increasingly stronger competition
Today's challenges are based on lower prices and delivery times, as well as greater product quality. In order to survive and remain competitive , efficiency of internal processes alone is no longer sufficient, but organizations need to act along the entire distribution chain.
Supply Chain is the production and distribution landscape that includes the entire network of organizations and suppliers which, starting from raw materials, allows finished products to reach end customers through the flow of services, information and money.
Supply Chain Management is the planning, execution and monitoring of Supply Chain activities, which optimizes the flows across the chain and its single links, to generate profit and competitive advantage and ensure that the product is delivered on time and at the right price.
Digital Transformation will continue to change the way we produce and work
Digital Transformation enables Supply Chian to create innovative solutions to assist people and companies to work efficiently. The main trends seen today are related to the increasing availability of Big Data.
Process Mining and Machine Learning tools will be increasingly used throughout the Supply Chain as they allow to model a Digital Twin of real processes, automating the decisions of daily operations and enabling structured and increasingly precise forecasts on future scenarios.
Other trends that will become increasingly popular concern the interconnection between the different actors of the distribution chain through shared platforms, and accessible also remotely, and the Blockchain.
What is the future of the Supply Chain?
Supply Chain Observatory
The Supply Chain Observatory is the result of a collaboration between JPS and Engineering Group and, since 2022, has been collecting insights, identifying trends, and detecting the needs of companies in the Supply Chain field.
The Observatory involves and brings together a selection of Supply Chain & Operations experts, both from the business and IT sides, with the goal of understanding – directly from the voices of industry professionals – whether and to what extent the opportunities offered by current technologies support the Supply Chain ecosystem.
Their feedback and opinions are gathered through surveys, focus groups, interviews, and round tables. The work concludes with a final report, available on the Observatory's website.
Each edition is closely linked to the previous ones and, for 2025, the Observatory's analysis focused on the realities, perspectives, and impacts of the Digital Twin in the Supply Chain.
