Supply Chain Twin

By creating a virtual model of the physical supply chain, organizations can gain insights into potential issues and make informed decisions about how to improve operations. Google Cloud offers a solution to help businesses achieve this.

What is a Supply Chain Twin?

A supply chain twin is a digital representation of a company’s physical supply chain. It incorporates data from a range of sources, including sensors, enterprise systems, and external data sources, to create a comprehensive model of the supply chain. By visualizing the entire supply chain in a digital environment, organizations can gain insights into potential bottlenecks, risks, and opportunities for optimization.

How Can a Supply Chain Twin Help Your Business?

A supply chain twin can help businesses improve their supply chain performance in a number of ways, including:

• Visibility: By creating a digital model of the supply chain, organizations can gain real-time visibility into the movement of goods and materials, as well as potential issues that may arise.
• Cost Optimization: By identifying potential bottlenecks and inefficiencies in the supply chain, organizations can optimize costs and reduce waste.
• Risk Reduction: By modeling different scenarios in the digital environment, organizations can identify potential risks and take steps to mitigate them.
