The paradigm shift is already underway, as linear and sequential supply chain operations move to a digitized, open framework — part of Industry 4.0 — that maximizes machine capabilities with high throughput and limited resources.

One of the most common misconceptions about manufacturing is that it’s data-driven. People assume that because supply chains are complex and precise, they must be the products of extensive, ongoing analysis. In reality, supply chains have been historically slow-moving, especially in terms of innovation.
