We are living through a historic time, when advanced technologies continually change how a manufacturer generates value. This new digital era is the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” (4IR). Companies see new technologies accelerating strategic, tech-enabled transformations. Regardless, many manufacturing companies are stuck in the proof of concept (PoC) phase or are running projects that are delivering results far from revolutionary. Add to that the COVID-19 tsunami, a crisis that changed the world in a matter of weeks. It is difficult to predict every aspect of the post-COVID-19 era, but it is already clear the world will never be the same. Even the most conservative industrial player will need to adapt to the “new normal”, with the importance of digital rapidly increasing for the entire value chain. Executives are expected to speed up digital transformation initiatives, changing the operating model forever.

When we talk about “supply,” we are talking about the quantity of that specific good or service that is available to consumers.
