挑战
Seagate needed to create a more responsive supply chain to support business practices such as vendor-managed inventory, JIT hub replenishment, and build-to-demand manufacturing. The company faced challenges due to short product life cycles and highly volatile demand, which required fast time-to-market and fast time-to-volume strategies. The combination of these factors drove the need to integrate business processes across divisions, geographies, and trading partners. Seagate aimed to move from a build-to-forecast model to a true build-to-demand model, requiring better synchronization with trading partners and a robust system providing visibility to the supply chain process for all suppliers and customers.

In such a hyper-competitive business, where short product shelf life is the rule, manufacturing and supply chain processes must be accurate, lean, and flexible. Seagate's top priority is customer responsiveness, aiming to satisfy customer needs quickly and flexibly through superb logistics and supply chain coordination.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.
