Adaptive global supply chain management is essential in today’s competitive, non-stop business environment. When exceptions are encountered, companies must be able to sense, respond, and act appropriately to ensure their customers get the products they want in the right amount, at the right time, place, and price.
Event Management provides proactive, real-time exception management technology that enables you to detect conditional change anywhere in your supply chain and communicate it instantly to those—both inside and outside your organization—who need to take action. Problem resolution can take place on the spot following your business rules.
