2 sessions on Control Towers (3h)

Professor: Rahul Singh, ENTERCOMS

Brief Description: 
Modern supply chains are complex entities — spanning multiple geographies, customers, and vendors — and running them effectively requires synchronization across several systems and data sources. Recently, supply chain control towers have emerged as solutions to the problem of providing end-to-end visibility and alerting mechanisms to managers. However, when combined with big data analytics, they can transform from being visibility and calculation-only tools into fast and effective interpretation mechanisms to drive specific actions in the supply chain.
