Supply Chain Transformation

Supply chain transformation refers to the strategic and systematic changes made to a company's supply chain processes, systems, and structures to achieve significant improvements in efficiency, agility, and responsiveness. It involves adopting innovative technologies, implementing new operating models, and reconfiguring supply chain networks to optimise performance, reduce costs, and enhance customer value.

Supply chain transformation aims to innovate and evolve the supply chain to meet changing customer demands, market dynamics, and competitive pressures.
