Abstract:
The future of supply chain is filled with excitement and uncertainty of
the future. With a rise in the middle class across the globe; retailers and
their suppliers are scrambling to keep up with the demand. Mass production
is at all-time high and what businesses are aiming for now. It can bring in
millions of dollars in revenue. Consumers want their products affordable and
fast. Retailing giants are thriving because they are able to supply large
quantities of products and satisfy the demand of the consumer. Mass
production is not only occurring on the lower end of the retail but also in the
luxury sector. There is a disconnect between brick and mortar stores and
online stores for various retailers that needs to be assessed and revamped.
As the advancement in technology grows rapidly it brings the possibility of a
unique and innovative future in the supply chain world.
