Part 4/7:
Coats emphasizes the importance of a unified digital system encompassing their worldwide operations. Having real-time data on production stages, inventory levels, capacity, and customer orders is essential. Such visibility allows factories in diverse locations—whether in Honduras or North Carolina—to operate seamlessly as if they were a single facility.
Enhancing Supply Chain Agility
Supply chains often involve hundreds of interconnected parts, making them vulnerable to disruptions. The goal is to simplify and unify these networks through cloud-based solutions. By collaborating with tech giants like Microsoft and SAP, Coats can ensure communication and data sharing are efficient, secure, and accessible from anywhere.
