On this episode of The Rebound, Ben Amaba, chief technology officer for the industrial sector at IBM Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence, discusses a new approach to compress latency, increase productivity and reduce costs in the supply chain – using your BOAT. ASCM CEO Abe Eshkenazi and SCMR Editorial Director Bob Trebilcock are hosts.
Supply chain is in the midst of a digital transformation. To that end, BOAT – a concept that brings together the business, operations, algorithms and technology – is important for supply chain managers that want to compress latency, improve productivity and reduce costs. In fact, in the digital supply chain, we may need a bigger BOAT than we’re used to. The key is getting the right balance between the four, especially technology.
On this episode of The Rebound, IBM’s Ben Amaba discusses a new risk management tool his organization is developing with ASCM designed to help supply chain managers find that balance in their operations, utilizing the right mix of emerging technologies.
