The Acceleration of ECO-Operation

A new 90-page report and survey findings detailing the forces and
factors driving supply chain executives towards greater levels of
environmental responsibility, visibility, collaboration and
accountability.

Here is an excerpt from the executive summary:

“Unifying, focusing and controlling complex, globally distributed and highly synchronized value networks in turbulent, unpredictable times requires real-time operational insights down to the product level, accurate sourcing and sell-through intelligence, and relentless dedication to eliminating waste and realizing new efficiencies in all areas of the go-to-market process. At the same time, economic, social and regulatory dynamics are putting real pressures on global companies to be both ‘lean and green’ in their product sourcing, logistics, transportation, distribution and operational practices.

“Never has the need been greater for better acquisition, integration, and utilization of information across the entire network of value chain partners.”
