如果要實現(xiàn)工業(yè)4.0的愿景，大多數(shù)企業(yè)流程必須變得更加數(shù)字化。關(guān)鍵因素將是傳統(tǒng)供應鏈向連通，智能和高效的供應鏈生態(tài)系統(tǒng)演變。
Most enterprise processes must become more digital if the vision of industry 4.0 is to be achieved. The key factor will be the evolution of the traditional supply chain to the connected, intelligent and efficient supply chain ecosystem.
今天的供應鏈是通過市場營銷，產(chǎn)品開發(fā)，制造和分銷，并最終落到客戶手中的一系列基本上離散的，孤立的步驟。數(shù)字化打通這些了這些墻壁，形成一根鏈條，變成一個完全集成的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)，對所有參與者，從原材料，零部件供應商，到這些供應品和成品的運輸商，以及最終的客戶都得到滿足。
Digital supply "network" are built - component - digital supply "network" is about to begin development will provide new flexibility and responsivity, the first successful companies to provide customers with the most efficient and transparent service delivery.
這個網(wǎng)絡將取決于一些關(guān)鍵技術(shù)：綜合規(guī)劃和執(zhí)行系統(tǒng)，物流可視性，自主物流，智能采購和倉儲，備件管理和高級分析。結(jié)果將使公司能夠?qū)溨袛嘧龀龇磻?，甚至可以預測它們，通過對網(wǎng)絡進行全面建模，創(chuàng)建“假設”情景，并隨著條件變化實時調(diào)整供應鏈。
In most companies, products are delivered to customers through very standard processes. Marketing analyze customer needs and try to predict sales for a period of time. With this information, the raw materials, components, and expected capacity of the order are manufactured. Distribution deals with the changes in the number of products that are going to happen and tells customers when they need to ship.
數(shù)字供應“網(wǎng)絡”一旦建成-組件即將開始發(fā)展-數(shù)字供應“網(wǎng)絡”將提供新的彈性和響應度，那些首先成功的公司能夠在為客戶提供最高效和透明服務交付。
在大多數(shù)公司中，產(chǎn)品通過非常標準的流程交付給客戶。營銷分析客戶需求并嘗試預測未來一段時間的銷售情況。有了這些信息，制造訂單的原材料，組件和預期容量的零件。分銷解決了即將發(fā)生的產(chǎn)品數(shù)量變化，并告知客戶何時需要發(fā)貨。
如果一切順利，系統(tǒng)中每個點的需求和供應之間的差距很小，但是，預測仍然是一個不精確的科學，它依賴的數(shù)據(jù)可能不一致和不完整。制造業(yè)經(jīng)常獨立于市場營銷，客戶以及供應商和其他合作伙伴。缺乏透明度意味著供應鏈中的任何環(huán)節(jié)都不能真正理解其他鏈接正在做什么或需求什么。不可避免地，從營銷到顧客的有序流動似乎在某處被打亂。
All this will begin to change in the next few years. The supply chain itself has changed. With the advent of the digital supply chain, the island will disappear, and every link will provide insight into other needs and challenges. The supply and demand signals will be initiated at any time and will be disseminated
在接下來的幾年中，這一切都將開始發(fā)生變化。供應鏈本身發(fā)生了什么變化。隨著數(shù)字供應鏈的出現(xiàn)，孤島將會消失，每個環(huán)節(jié)都將充分洞察其他需求和挑戰(zhàn)。供應和需求信號將在任何時候發(fā)起，并在整個網(wǎng)絡中立即傳播。關(guān)鍵原材料水平低下，工廠關(guān)閉，客戶需求突然增加-所有這些信息將在整個系統(tǒng)中實時顯示。這反過來將允許所有玩家-并且最重要的是，客戶-正在相應地進行規(guī)劃。
throughout the network. Key raw material levels are low, factory closures, and sudden increases in customer demand - all of this information will be displayed in real time throughout the system. This in turn will allow all players - and most importantly, the customer - to plan accordingly.
