SUPPLY CHAIN EXECUTION (SCE) SOLUTIONS Supply chain execution (SCE) is about controlling the complex activities required to rapidly fill orders. To date strategies called SCE have primarily focused on distribution and logistics issues. Few companies consider the actual manufacturing activities inside the plant as part of this supply chain. For supply chain execution strategies to evolve to the next level, solutions must reach beyond distribution and extend back to the plant and the suppliers to that plant. In the plant, demand-pull signals from the market and exceptions or shifting conditions in the supply chain must be linked real-time to work orders and WIP tracking.
