You’ve acquired a new piece of technology for the supply chain. How do you make sure that you’re getting the most out of it?

Investments in cutting-edge technology to help manage the supply chain are essential, if businesses are to get their products to market in the most efficient manner possible. That doesn’t remove the need to justify the expenditure, however. How do you do that, and ensure that you’re extracting the best possible return on investment? Who’s involved in the decision, and who needs to be sold on it? On this episode, we address those questions with the help of Jeffrey Luft, portfolio development executive with Siemens Digital Logistics. He guides us through the entire process, from vendor selection to implementation and rendering of a final verdict on the ROI. Hosted by Bob Bowman, Editor-in-Chief of SupplyChainBrain.

This episode is sponsored by Siemens Digital Logistics.
