The electronics industry is characterized by a fast pace of creating new products, finding new markets and beating new competitors making an agile supply chain really relevant. As product life cycles become smaller, organizations have to ensure that the time to market for new products is reduced and hence supply chain planning assumes great importance.

An increased reliance on outsourcing of manufacturing and other activities has led to multi-level supply chains which are difficult to keep track of.

Some of the most relevant challenges to the electronics industry are:

• Developing accurate sales and operations plans
• Accurately modeling business processes and controlling execution.
• Improving visibility across various tiers of the supply chain.
• Running “what-if” scenarios to evaluate potential scenarios and devise options.
