On April 23rd, Vineet Khanna, the former Global Head of Supply Chain at Nestlé, will share his roadmap to Supply Chain Orchestration Success.
In the meantime, these are my thoughts; please share yours.
Here is an excerpt from a post I wrote in 2007 about Supply Chain Orchestration – back then, we referred to it as agent-based modelling within a dynamic Metaprise – https://bit.ly/3Q2fLpQ
“In short, a Metaprise is a synchronized versus sequential architecture (private hub) that simultaneously links or incorporates the unique operating attributes of all transactional stakeholders on a real-world, real-time basis. This real-time linking is a far cry from the “near” real-time capabilities of the much-touted Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), which links disparate systems or processes often referred to as the “loose coupling of services.”
I then wrote:
“During the alignment phase, stakeholder input (especially from your purchasing department and supply base) will also enable you to lay a solid foundation to evaluate current and proposed technologies. Besides eliminating compliance challenges, you will be able to know exactly where and how you can utilize orchestrated technology to deliver savings.“
