supply chain visibility (SCV)
Supply chain visibility (SCV) is the ability of parts, components or products in transit to be
tracked from the manufacturer to their final destination. The goal of SCV is to improve and
strengthen the supply chain by making data readily available to all stakeholders, including the
customer. Supply chain visibility technology promotes quick response to change by allowing
privledged users to take action and reshape demand or redirect supply.
According to Patrick Penfield from the the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University,
a supply chain
visibility program should dovetail with a disaster
recovery process.
