In the last decade, manufacturers and suppliers have transitioned from traditional methods to embrace innovative technologies and data-driven strategies. This shift has been driven by several key developments, such as the rise of artificial intelligence and augmented reality. The result is a supply chain ecosystem that is better equipped to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world. According to Richard Lebovitz, CEO of LeanDNA, a purpose-built analytics platform for factory inventory optimization, these changes have enabled manufacturers to become more efficient and cost-effective.
