Always-connected. Fujitsu end-to-end manufacturing supply chain management

The digital supply chain is a critical element of Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0. By implementing a smart and connected supply chain solution, you can gain a 360-degree view of your entire manufacturing operation from the supply of raw materials right through to warehousing and distribution of the finished product. With end-to-end supply chain intelligence, you are empowered to anticipate disruptions and make immediate adjustments as conditions change. By moving away from reactive problem solving your workers are free to focus on service delivery and customer outcomes.

Digital supply chain benefits include:


  • reduced supply chain complexity
  • improved efficiency
  • cost savings as wastage is detected
  • transparency - faults can be identified and responded to in advance
  • actionable insight into customer behavior and preferences
  • smarter decision making
  • event-driven maintenance for better performance and cost efficiencies
  • better deployment of employees
