In Narasimha's experience, supply chain visibility is one of the biggest challenges facing the industry. In Latin American countries, Narasimha says, supply chain organizations are beginning to come up with new processes for increasing supply chain visibility from a production perspective. Without visibility, he added, production cannot be streamlined, which impacts the bottom line. Finding methods that allow supply chain information to flow through different headquarters and different systems is the real challenge.
Narasimha is focused on the demand signals, more specifically making sure they are accurate and received in a timely manner -- the only way to ensure proper supply chain planning. The key to finding the supply and demand balance, he says, is getting the right information from the right source. His role as a consultant is to design a supply chain process that delivers complete visibility of all necessary information with key performance indicators.
