He says : “ Supply is all about interpreting data as quickly as possible in order to understand customer needs , and then making decisions , and acting on them in the shortest possible time . ERP is not great at this . It tends to be centred around human roles , and this does not serve the needs of an agile supply chain . The segregation of workplace duties is just one example why it ’ s not suited .”
Pretorius feels supply agility can only be achieved by removing human roles from supply thinking , and focusing on “ patterns that need to be executed .”
