Industry 4.0 is described as a digitally interoperable federated ecosystem for making products. Industry 4.0 holds the promise of faster, more efficient, more secure, and smarter manufacturing but its very existence is dependent on the creation and maintenance of a smart supply chain. A Smart Supply Chain is a digitally interoperable, federated ecosystem, for sourcing and distributing products. Like a molecule, the strength of the federated ecosystem lies in the strength of the bonds between its participants.
ECCMA provides a free on-line learning site where data quality managers can study the basics of ISO 8000. Members of ECCMA work together to improve the quality and reduce the cost of supply chain data through shared supplier and material master data.
