Manufacturers and Supply Chains are buffeted by changes in demand and fluctuations in supply. Macroeconomic swings, shifting government incentives and unprecedented events make the foundations for business and industry unstable. Supply Chains have historically been designed for efficiency. That worked… until it didn’t. With the pace of change increasing, brittle supply chains will continue to break.
Success today and tomorrow requires rapidly responding to the environment and living up to the promise you make to your customer to deliver the right product, at the right price, at the right time. Efficiency, agility and resilience, do not need to be a tradeoff. The Adaptive Enterprise simultaneously advances all three for effective customer service. Success is achieved by optimizing people, processes and systems from the shop floor to the top floor, and across the supply chain from raw materials to finished goods in the hands of the end customer.

Across all departments, thriving organizations unite people, processes and systems to be:
