埃森哲近期的调研显示，全球85%的企业已经开始或计划在未来一年内引入数字技术改造其供应链。有效的数字化供应链整体有望推动企业收入增长10%，采购成本下降20%，供应链成本降低50%。企业如果想要最大程度实现数字化供应链，需要借助云计算、物联网、大数据、认知技术及人工智能等新兴科技术的强大力量来推动供应链的进一步转型，构建不断优化的端到端的供应链运营模式。
本届峰会将围绕数字化供应链的六大要诀：“易”—体验至上；“准”—主动感知；“智”—实时可视；“透”—完全透明；“精”—卓越可靠；“敏”—即插即用 ，与数百家来自食品饮料，日化，鞋服，耐用消费品，零售电商，制造业，化工，医疗等行业的相关负责人共话数字化时代，如何在成本和客户满意度之间找到最优的平衡点，打造敏捷、快速响应、持续改进的供应链，成功地完成企业数字化运营的变革目标。
A recent investigation by Accenture indicates that 85% of businesses in the world have introduced or are going to introduce digital technology to transform their supply chains. An effective digital supply chain is expected to result in a 10% revenue increase, a 20% procurement cost reduction, and a 50% supply chain cost reduction. To maximize the coverage of digital supply chain, businesses have to capitalize the great potentials of emerging technologies such as cloud computing, IoT, big data, cognitive science and AI to promote the further transformation of supply chain and build an ever-improving end-to-end supply chain.
This Summit will center on the six keys of digital supply chain: “easiness”-experience matters most; “accuracy”-proactive detection; “intelligence”-real-time visibility; “transparency”-completely transparent, “precision”-excellent and reliable and “agility”-plug-and-play. Executives from hundreds of businesses engaged in food and beverage, household and personal care, garments and shoes, consumer durables, retail E-commerce, manufacturing, chemical and medical care will gather to discuss how to maintain an optimal balance between cost and customer satisfaction and build an agile, responsive and ever-improving supply chain in a digital era to achieve digital operation of business.
