Enterprise Business Model for
Manufacturers - a transformation to Headquarters-based execution
I - Differentiating centralized vs. de-centralized models. Global manufacturers
to-date have faced challenges of developing global footprint capabilities.
The tension over centralized vs. de-centralized enterprise architecture
has led to flaws in competitive optimization. Addressing the business
model takes place at the architectural level.
 II - Architectural transformation
to cope with shrinking product cycles and reduced lead-times. Current
and future competitive climates are forcing global manufacturers to
revise and refine enterprise architectural visions to allow for Headquarters-oriented
fulfillment planning and execution strategies. Competitive pressures
continue to force global manufacturers to sustain quality and lean
production
practices while now asking themselves to flexibly address regionalized
balance of demand, supply, and ultimately, fulfillment.
III - Technology
that supports architectural shifts. At the core of the Enterprise
Business Model architecture is the platform, technology and application
stack.
Today's and tomorrow's stack arrangements are the key to an anticipative
enterprise.
