Introduction

Abstract

This IDC Manufacturing Insights report presents the latest survey results from Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ business and IT priorities. The findings show a maturing of the supply chain, with a greater focus on visibility and responsiveness.

According to Christopher Holmes, vice president, Manufacturing Insights, IDC Asia/Pacific, "The supply chain process has been fundamentally changed since the slowdown of 2009. The strategy of selecting the lowest-cost supplier has been undone, as the inflexible and lead times meant that companies could not respond quickly to customer demand, leading to build up of inventories, and drying up of cash flows. As we move into 2010, the focus for supply chains is on, achieving responsiveness and visibility into the supply chain."
