How Michelin builds a resilient supply chain with real-time visibility

Michelin, a global leader in the tire industry, boasts a rich heritage spanning over 130 years. Headquartered in Clermont-Ferrand, France, the company operates in over 175 countries with an international production network of 121 production sites in over 26 countries. Michelin is renowned for its innovative and high-quality tire products for passenger vehicles, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and speciality applications.

In today's dynamic and competitive landscape, Michelin prioritizes a resilient and agile supply chain to deliver its products to customers on time and in full. However, managing complex logistics across a global network proved challenging, demanding real-time visibility to ensure efficient operations and informed decision-making.
