Recognition of the need for greater agility and digital transformation in supply chains predates the global outbreak of the coronavirus. In a recent report based on a 2019 survey of 1,000 supply chain professionals (MHI Annual Industry Report, Embracing the Digital Mindset, sponsored by MHI and Deloitte), 73% of respondents expected robotics and automation to be commonly utilized within five years. And 82% expected the same with the use of predictive analytics. The gap between current use and future adoption, however, was stark. Only 39% of respondents said they already employed robotics and automation solutions, while fewer still (28%) had adopted predictive technologies.
Crisis, however, has a way of accelerating timelines. In completely upending the global economy, COVID-19 has not only injected great uncertainty into the manufacture and movement of goods, but has also caused significant changes to consumer behavior, creating end-to-end challenges in the effective management of supply chains.
