According to the MIT Sloan Management Review:
...access to transparent, accurate data is a prerequisite for effective supply chain collaboration and coordination. Lack of transparency is often born from a lack of trust or confidentiality issues. But we are already seeing progressive companies developing novel solutions to this dilemma — such as data “cleanrooms” and digital marketplaces.
What we call data “cleanrooms,” often managed by a third party, allow the sharing of sensitive data (for example, consumer demand, product cost breakdown, and asset utilization) in a legal and secure data environment that lets participants better identify and size opportunities for joint value creation.
For a few years now many of us have been talking about how there needs to be a kind of Federal Reserve System for supply chains. It is sometimes forgotten that the Fed is a sophisticated private-public partnerships. And especially at the regional level, the private sector is arguably predominant.
What the Fed has done to clarify and manage -- and crucially troubleshoot -- the money supply, another private-public partnership could do for other supplies.
