2024年供应链十大趋势报告（英）

2024 Introduction The ground continues to shift beneath the feet of supply chain professionals. In anera of constant disruption, rapid digitization and growing consumer demands, theold ways of managing networks are nowhere near enough. That’s where the ASCMSupply Chain Trends for 2024 come in. This carefully curated list from ASCM’sInnovation and Strategy Sensing Subcommittee unveils the key forces shaping thefuture of supply chains. From harnessing the power of data and AI to building agileand resilient networks, the trends outlined in this report are not just predictions,but imperatives for supply chain success in 2024 and beyond.

Several key trends will shape the future, including digital supplychain, big data and analytics, and visibility and traceability. These fundamentalpillars will necessitate the development of new skills and knowledge among yourworkforce, particularly related to the Supply Chain Operations Reference DigitalStandard (SCOR DS). This shift is driven by the realization that enablement mustplay a more prominent role in supply chain orchestration. 1 Digital supply chain Converting data from a physical to a digital format enables the internet of things,artificial intelligence, blockchain and smart contracts, cloud-based solutions, andcountless other emerging technologies that rely on high-quality digital inputs. Inthe coming year, more supply chain organizations will transform their networks intoconnected, intelligent, scalable, customizable and nimble digital ecosystems. Somewill achieve holistic digital transformation, while others will advance more slowly bybalancing long-term investment in automation with the immediate implementationof solutions that reduce repetitive tasks and cognitive fatigue while allowingemployees to focus on areas where humans perform better than machines. 2 Big data and analytics Through supply chain big data and analytics, organizations will more easilyidentify inefficiencies, reduce costs, improve customer service, and strengthenresilience and agility to cope with frequent disruption. Applications include usingstandardized freight data exchange to deliver operational efficiencies, optimizeroutes and port planning, and reduce emissions and costs; sales and marketingdata to better predict demand, enhance inventory management practices andimprove the customer experience; data from sensors and digital twins to identifypotential problems, advance predictive maintenance and optimize productperformance. To maximize the potential of big data and analytics, supply chainsmust prioritize data exchange and information-sharing. 3 Artificial intelligence Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are happening at an unprecedented rateand offering numerous immediate returns — particularly in the areas of intelligentsourcing, inventory management and logistical route-planning. Cobots drivewarehousing efficiency through picking and packing, loading and unloading, andmoving heavy objects; computer vision supports defect detection and objectrecognition; robotics enable safer assembly and welding; and augmented realityadvances training, maintenance and quality control. Meanwhile, machine learning(ML), a subset of AI that allows computers to learn without being explicitlyprogrammed, will be used to make predictions and decisions about demandforecasting, quality control, new product development and much more. 4 Investment in systems and people By 2026, the global supply chain management application market is expected toreach almost $31 billion. As the adoption of supply chain tech escalates, it willcontinue bringing about key insights from enhanced automation, internet-of-things data, blockchain, supply-chain-as-a-service, cloud-based solutions andmore. These technologies are optimizing networks, supporting sustainability,improving partner collaboration, enhancing visibility, and helping organizationsbecome more flexible and agile. In 2024, essential investments in people throughtraining and development on the latest tech will create a culture of innovation andencourage employees to share ideas that lead to real supply chain success. 5 Visibility, traceabilityand location intelligence Supply chain visibility and traceability enable organizations to track the movementof goods and materials through every tier of the supply chain — from productorigin through its
