Why the Auto Industry Needs to Catch Up
Why the Auto Industry Needs to Catch Up
July 31, 2008
Someone forgot to tell the automotive industry that lack of collaboration, walled silos and inconsistent supply chains are not going to cut it in the modern corporate world.
That's the message of a scathing commentary from Supply and Demand Chain Executive that takes the industry to task and calls for change.
One of my favorite quotes from it: "This is the era of Web 3.0, online communities, mobility, flexibility, unified communications and the virtual workforce. Yet the auto industry clings to its silos of information housed in legacy systems when the only way to advance is to centralize data."
