在美國(guó)舉辦的PROMAT DX 2021年物流線上展的第三日，MHI美國(guó)物料搬運(yùn)工業(yè)協(xié)會(huì)和德勤咨詢(xún)聯(lián)合發(fā)布了《2021年MHI報(bào)告》，題目為《創(chuàng)新是復(fù)原力的驅(qū)動(dòng)：在不確定的時(shí)代技術(shù)和創(chuàng)新如何助力供應(yīng)鏈》。MHI已經(jīng)連續(xù)多年，在亞特蘭大和芝加哥物流展期間發(fā)布《MHI年度報(bào)告》，這份報(bào)告對(duì)整個(gè)市場(chǎng)的調(diào)查和分析，以及對(duì)未來(lái)趨勢(shì)的把控，被認(rèn)為是物料搬運(yùn)領(lǐng)域的決策依據(jù)。值得中國(guó)同行研究。

Need for Resilience Amid Pandemic Disruption Powering Digital Supply Chain Investments

大流行破壞對(duì)復(fù)原力的需求為數(shù)字供應(yīng)鏈投資提供動(dòng)力

Nearly half of supply chain leaders surveyed have dramatically accelerated spending on digital technologies to make their operations more responsive and forward-looking during the pandemic, accordingto an industry report released today by MHI in collaboration with Deloitte.

MHI與德勤（Deloitte）合作發(fā)布的一份行業(yè)報(bào)告顯示，在接受調(diào)查的供應(yīng)鏈領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者中，近半數(shù)大幅加快了對(duì)數(shù)字技術(shù)的支出，以使其運(yùn)營(yíng)在疫情期間更具反應(yīng)性和前瞻性。

Cloud computing, robotics andinventory/network optimization tools saw the biggest jump in terms supply chain investment, with 49% of survey respondents increasing spending, according to the 2021 MHI Annual Industry Report, “Innovation Driven Resilience: How Technology and Innovation Help Supply Chains Thrive in Unprecedented Times,”which provides new insights into trends and technologies that are having adramatic business impact on supply chains and the people who run them.

云計(jì)算、機(jī)器人和庫(kù)存/網(wǎng)絡(luò)優(yōu)化工具在供應(yīng)鏈投資方面增幅最大，根據(jù) 2021 年 MHI 年度行業(yè)報(bào)告"創(chuàng)新驅(qū)動(dòng)的彈性：技術(shù)和創(chuàng)新如何幫助供應(yīng)鏈在前所未有的時(shí)代蓬勃發(fā)展"，該報(bào)告提供了對(duì)趨勢(shì)和技術(shù)的新見(jiàn)解，這些趨勢(shì)和技術(shù)正在對(duì)供應(yīng)鏈和運(yùn)營(yíng)者產(chǎn)生巨大的業(yè)務(wù)影響。

A great majority of respondents, 83% believe digital supply chains will be the predominant model with in just five years – 22% believe they are now.

絕大多數(shù)受訪者（83%）認(rèn)為數(shù)字供應(yīng)鏈將在五年內(nèi)成為主要模式——22%的受訪者認(rèn)為，數(shù)字供應(yīng)鏈將成為目前的主要模式。

Supply Chain Technologies are Driving Resiliency

供應(yīng)鏈技術(shù)正在推動(dòng)彈性

According to this year’s respondents,nearly all the advanced digital technologies covered by the survey are expected to achieve wide spread adoption within the next 3-5 years.

根據(jù)今年的受訪者，幾乎所有先進(jìn)的數(shù)字技術(shù)都有望在未來(lái)3-5年內(nèi)獲得廣泛采用。

Cloud computing and storage has the highest current adoption rate at 57%. Adoption is expected to grow to 88% over the next 3-5 years.

云計(jì)算和存儲(chǔ)的當(dāng)前采用率最高，為 57%。預(yù)計(jì)在未來(lái)3-5年內(nèi)，選用率將增長(zhǎng)到88%。

Robotics and automation, currently at 38%,is expected to reach 76% in the next 3-5 years.

Predictive Analytics, currently at 31%, is expected to grow to 79% in the next 3-5 years.

Industrial Internet of Things, currently 27%, is expected to grow to 73% over the next 3-5 years.

Artificial Intelligence, currently at 17%,is expected to grow to 62% in the next 3-5 years.

Talent Shortage, Customer Demands and Disruption are Top Supply Chain Challenges

機(jī)器人和自動(dòng)化目前為38%，預(yù)計(jì)在未來(lái)3-5年內(nèi)將達(dá)到76%。 

預(yù)測(cè)分析技術(shù)，目前為31%，預(yù)計(jì)在未來(lái)3-5年內(nèi)增長(zhǎng)到79%。

工業(yè)物聯(lián)網(wǎng)目前占27%，預(yù)計(jì)未來(lái)3-5年將增長(zhǎng)到73%。

人工智能目前為17%，預(yù)計(jì)在未來(lái)3-5年內(nèi)將增長(zhǎng)到62%。

人才短缺、客戶(hù)需求和中斷是供應(yīng)鏈面臨的首要挑戰(zhàn)

When it comes to supply chain challenges,respondents continue to report that their organization’s greatest challenge is hiring and retaining qualified workers at 52%. Close behind is the category ofcustomer requirements in which customers continually expect and demand faster response times and lower costs. Digital innovation is essential to solving this customer experience challenge, but the technologies cannot be implemented without a skilled workforce to run them. Supply chain disruption was also a major challenge at 39%.

在供應(yīng)鏈挑戰(zhàn)方面，受訪者繼續(xù)報(bào)告說(shuō)，他們組織面臨的最大挑戰(zhàn)是招聘和留住 52% 的合格員工。緊隨其后的是客戶(hù)需求類(lèi)別，客戶(hù)不斷期待和要求更快的響應(yīng)時(shí)間和更低的成本。數(shù)字創(chuàng)新對(duì)于解決這一客戶(hù)體驗(yàn)挑戰(zhàn)至關(guān)重要，但如果沒(méi)有熟練的員工來(lái)運(yùn)行這些技術(shù)，這些技術(shù)就無(wú)法實(shí)現(xiàn)。供應(yīng)鏈中斷也是39%的主要挑戰(zhàn)。

“Supply chain resilience has never been more important. Companies that made investments in digital technologies prior to the pandemic were more prepared and able to adapt, survive and even thrive during this disruption. They will also be ready when the next crisis inevitably hits,” John Paxton, CEO of MHI.

"供應(yīng)鏈的彈性從未像現(xiàn)在這樣重要。在大流行之前投資數(shù)字技術(shù)的公司準(zhǔn)備更充分，能夠在這場(chǎng)破壞中適應(yīng)、生存甚至茁壯成長(zhǎng)。當(dāng)下一次危機(jī)不可避免地襲來(lái)時(shí)，他們也會(huì)做好準(zhǔn)備，"MHI首席執(zhí)行官約翰·帕克斯頓說(shuō)。
