Big Data in Supply Chain Mgt and Heavy Industry
By Mo Data
Supply Chains generate data at every step. Most often, the supply chain does not belong to one vertically integrated company. Therefore to allow data to be used effectively by any member of the chain, it needs to be shared in some way, shape or form. This makes it a very interesting problem for Big Data folks - Cloud may be good for sharing, but different business processes, technical standards and ideas around negotiating advantage may be the challenge.
