The KPMG Blueprint for Modern Supply Chains

At times of extreme disruption, help future-proof your supply chain with KPMG

Today’s supply chains are under enormous pressure. Global instability, inflation, and cyber risks are disrupting operations, while shifting trade routes, labor gaps, and sustainability demands continue to challenge delivery timelines.

Decision makers are turning away from manual processes and embracing analytics and AI-driven approaches. The next generation of supply chains are set to harness the power of automation to analyze and synthesize large amounts of data, perform repetitive tasks, learn and make recommendations—all while humans oversee and manage the supply chain and make key decisions.

Business leaders worldwide are struggling to survive and thrive in this new reality and address these challenges head on:

Navigating Supply Chain Disruptions

Enhancing visibility and collaboration to mitigate risks and disruptions, including strategies like nearshoring to address vulnerabilities amid tariff changes and geopolitical actions, along with the use of advanced analytics, scenario modeling and data to better understand and predict risks and events

Decision-Making in a Supply Chain Environment

Making informed, data-driven decisions amidst supply limitations, emphasizing the need for agility and adaptability

Reshoring in an age of disruption

Reshoring offers a strategic path to greater resilience, agility, and control in today’s volatile supply chain landscape. As disruption becomes the norm, bringing production closer to home is emerging as a critical lever for long-term competitiveness and effective risk mitigation

AI-Powered Agility

Leveraging AI to enhance supply chain agility, enabling quick adaption to market changes while driving cost efficiencies and performance improvements

Building a Digitally Enabled Workforce and Operating Model

Creating a workforce culture that is human-centric, yet empowered by digital tools for efficient labor allocation and skill utilization, redefining the structure, processes and enablement of the end to end

Technology for Operational Enhancement

Harnessing technology to improve operational workflows, enhance visibility and provide real-time information for better decision-making and transparency

Supply chain disruptions are a major concern for companies today. Our report, "The Proximity Premium," analyzes the implications of strategic shoring, a trend where companies are relocating their supply chains closer to the Americas to enhance supply chain resilience and agility.
