The Supply Chain Control Tower in its Digitized Form
The hype around Artificial Intelligence is
far from fizzling out anytime soon. Digitalization and big data have completely
penetrated the supply chain industry and,often, are ubiquitous in nature. This
article discusses one of the moreinteresting trends in the current supply chain
analytics space – The Control Tower
The
concept of Air Control Towers and the Evolution of Digital Control Towers in
Supply Chain
One may wonder if supply chain control
towers have any correlation with air traffic controllers? To be honest, yes,
there is!
An air traffic control tower (ATC), is a
service provided by on-ground staff (controllers), who direct aircraft on the
ground and through controlled airspace; they can provide advisory services to
aircraft in non-controlled airspace. The primary purpose of ATC worldwide is to
prevent collisions, organize and expedite the flow of air traffic, and provide
information and other support for pilots (wiki). In short, the tower helps
Improve flow, reduce emergency like situations through tactical interventions
and provide inputs for right decision making.
The digital control towers aim` at keeping
a bird’s eye view on the events occurring within the supply chain ecosystem
(controlled and uncontrolled space), with the modus operandi being very similar
to a generic air traffic controller. With the help of this consolidated view
generated by the digital control towers in supply chain, one can gain powerful
insights about the current happenings within the organization. These insights
help in improving flow across the organization, reducing urgencies and
providing insights and tactical support to supply chain managers to make
effective decisions.
