To gain the end-to-end supply chain visibility and real-time, accurate data needed for better decision-making and the ability to deliver at the speed of mission demand, federal agencies must leverage flexible new approaches and technologies. Success, however, hinges on assessing supply chain health before designing and executing a holistic strategy that integrates advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, the cloud and other digital tools. In so doing, agencies can achieve sustainable performance improvements, cost savings, and the ability to mitigate risk throughout the supply lifecycle.
