How Master Data Management Enables Resilient Supply Chains

This white paper outlines how implementing a robust Master Data Management (MDM) strategy is critical for building supply chain resilience in the face of disruptions—whether from pandemics, natural disasters, or geopolitical events. It emphasizes the importance of:

• High-quality, unified data: Centralizing and standardizing master data—such as suppliers, products, assets, and locations—across disparate systems ensures consistent, reliable insights.
• Agile strategy & governance: A long-term, business-led MDM approach—executed through iterative, agile increments with strong data ownership and governance—helps maintain a “single version of truth”.
• Operational benefits: Clean master data supports better decision‑making in procurement, inventory management, transportation, and customer service, reducing errors, costs, and delays.
• Resilience through visibility: With a trusted data foundation, organizations can quickly identify weak points—like single‑source suppliers or logistics bottlenecks—and respond proactively.

By embedding MDM into supply chain strategy, companies bolster their ability to absorb shocks, optimize processes, and maintain business continuity.
