| Abstract: |
The article focuses on the risk of supply chain visibility to the suppliers in the U.S. Jim Lawton, senior vice president of Dun & Bradstreet Corp. (D&B), states that when building the system, it is wise to start with baby steps because doing a massive transformation has a higher possibility of failure. He adds that adding on the available external information such as suppliers financial conditions and on-time delivery histories are the best way to form a more complete view of the suppliers. |
