Supply Chain Navigator: Prototype
May 17th, 2008I am happy to share exciting news with you today. At the end of April we had a meeting with Andre, our Project and IT Manager. After having talked about the heart piece of Global Demos, the Supply Chain Navigator for many months and discussed the multitude of capabilities of the tool, Andre presented us the prototype. This constitutes a big step forwards. It was exciting to finally see what we have talking about for such a long time. Unfortunately we are currently not able to show you this prototype because the next step is now to feed the programme with data. Daniel and Dominik are currently doing that. They collect all available and necessary supply chain data of two companies. It is a really good feeling to already see the first outcome of our work from the last half year. The Supply Chain Navigator is the core of Global Demos and it will visualise the connections between corporations globally. It will enable you to see which multinational corporations own whom and where along the corporate supply chain issues like child labour etc occur and how they are linked to the corporation itself. At the same time it offers corporations a great information tool since they might not be aware of some connections or issues. They can use it as an early warning system.
I am already proud of our Supply Chain Navigator and I am already looking forward sharing more information or illustrations with you soon, but I have to ask you for your patience. In the meantime I am happy for any questions or comments you have.
You will hear from us soon.
Have a peachy day
