How to harness complex value chains in an uncertain and hyper-connected world

The race between nations to supply goods and services across a global marketplace is continuing unabated. The fourth industrial revolution — a technological transformation that fundamentally alters the way we live and work on a scale and scope never experienced before — exemplifies the future of production, manufacturing and services.

A keen observer would point out that the key pillars of this revolution — robotics, big data, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things — stem from concepts established as the building blocks of an ongoing industrial transformation. Indeed, a global industrial renaissance revises some old concepts in new ways. Inventing, learning, producing and trading then takes place on the foundation of these revised concepts.

But the renaissance doesn’t involve just one value aspect of a company or industry. The entire value chain becomes part of the conversation — from product conception to sourcing for materials, prototyping, manufacturing and all the way to distribution.

The speed of the revolution
What has changed is the speed at which these revised concepts are being adopted by whole industries, thus creating the sense of revolution. The agility in adopting these concepts can be seen in the emergence of new business categories, creating new types of solutions for new groups of consumers. This creates a climate of uncertainty over the readiness of existing businesses to respond to change, and their ability to thrive for years to come.

As this shift continues to take place, companies are faced with an existential crisis. How will they be able to create value and stay relevant in the face of a global context that’s full of uncertainties?

The key to a competitive advantage
In a world where both consumers and suppliers are able to notice opportunities and trends faster than ever before, DELMIA Quintiq sees the need for each company to grasp the connections and inter-dependencies between the most important pillars of their business model:

1. Deep comprehension of demand
2. Responsiveness of supply
3. Agility in production
4. Swiftness in delivering the end product to the customer

The DELMIA Quintiq solution makes it possible for businesses to design, test and execute intelligent, synchronized activities within those pillars.
