What Does the Future Hold For the Supply Chain?
Nothing stays new forever. That can be said about anything from a pair of socks, to a multimillion-pound factory, and everything in between. The same is true for the new technologies, processes and expectations that are currently rocking the supply chain. Getting to grips with the new way of doing things means it is an exciting time for professionals across the industry, but, it also means that now is not the time to get comfortable as more change is on the way. Industry 4.0 involved the introduction of artificial intelligence, big data capture and analysis, and unprecedented levels of connectivity, and while much of the supply chain is still working to adapt to these new capabilities, more disruption is on the way. Yes, you read that right! Industry 5.0 is coming, bringing with it more twists and turns for the supply chain that a super-sized rollercoaster.
