Problem Statement
Definition
- The most basic definition is the trackability of products in transit from the
manufacturer to the final destination. These could be parts or components used to
make a final product or the final product itself. In a broader sense, visibility is the
increase of available data that can be analyzed to make recommendations and
determine strategies to improve and strengthen a supply chain.
