Making sense of automotive logistics transformation

Dashboards create visibility, but visibility alone does not create control. Control emerges when the system can respond coherently to what is visible.

Many modernization failures are diagnosed as technical. In reality, they begin as communication breakdowns between operations, technology teams, and management.

Most logistics software is technically capable. The problem is rarely missing functionality but misalignment between the system and the way work actually happens.

Automation amplifies structure — good or bad. If a process is unclear, automation spreads confusion faster.

Fragmentation rarely announces itself as a crisis. It appears as small inconveniences that collectively form an invisible tax on decision-making.
