Background
Unilever is digitally rewiring its supply chain, focusing on generating real-time & democratized information, capitalizing on advanced technologies, and building digitally connected factories. This will help deliver competitive, volume-driven growth while supporting an increasing demand for agility and will have to be underpinned by sustainable cost reduction. The Supply Chain Transformation is expected to enable –
Improved agility and customer-centricity across end-to-end supply chains through the facilitation of faster recognition of customer preferences and feedback. This, in turn, will allow quick adjustments to manufacturing flows and material flows in factories.
A competitive edge through supply-chain resilience – thereby requiring connected, reconfigurable supply ecosystems.
Speed and productivity through increased levels of automation and workforce augmentation coupled with upskilling and reskilling effort.
Being cost-efficient and resource-efficient, to boost growth and support investment.
Supply Chain cost savings are an essential part of the virtuous cycle of growth and support the business efforts to increase the core operating margin. These savings will be driven by improvements in efficiency.
Supply chain leadership seeks continuous improvement in manufacturing to drive cost savings and higher returns, providing extra fuel for growth as cash is redeployed in new strategic opportunities.
Manufacturing is going through a profound change due to the hyper-acceleration of the fourth industrial revolution. It is touching not just the production process, but the entire operating model. This new operating model includes how business processes are managed & optimized and the usage of technology to transform the ways of working, derive insight & making data-driven decisions. And this will become the blueprint for the entire organization’s operating model.
Rapid development and deployment of new digital solutions require us to accelerate the adoption of agile methodologies, using small, cross-functional teams and rapid, iterative processes. There is also an inherent need to upskill talent within the organization at the same scale and pace as technology.
