THE PROBLEM
The plan is ready. The factory isn't.
74% of manufacturers say improving forecasting has been a top priority, yet 72% still report discovering material shortages only after delays were already unavoidable. The signal exists, but it isn’t clear or early enough to act on.
Our latest data study in partnership with Wakefield Research puts numbers behind a problem many supply chain teams recognize but haven’t been able to quantify.

BY THE NUMBERS
The cost of unmanaged readiness
These numbers show up across company sizes, geographies, and manufacturing segments. The problem is widespread, the financial impact is real, and most teams are absorbing it quietly.
