Supply Chain Science

Abstract

Unlike manufacturing, some investment management firms may not have highly advanced procurement and supply chain functions. Strategic excellence comes from building supply chains that have the following attributes: resilience, rigor, redundancy, reliability, refortification, and responsiveness. Asset management firms will need reliable supply of data, hardware, and services and hence need to formalize sourcing and supply chain functions. The broader supply chain group, however, does more than procuring data. It is also responsible for all other procurement undertaken by the firm. To build the supply chain management capabilities, the authors suggest viewing it as supply chain risk management. Using AI to improve the readers' supply chain offers a great opportunity to manage risk and ensure that their strategic data keeps flowing. With sourcing and supply chain automation the readers can: automate work, enable insights, improve operational precisions and accuracy, enable prediction, and do a preemptive intervention.
