The supply chain's management certainly benefits from big data but lack of data is not the fundamental problem with supply chains. The problem is the logistics of financing. Unless financing is provided with the same efficiency as with the supply chain logistics, there is no fundamental imporovrmeny in supply chain efficiency. At the bottom rung of the economic ladder, where the entrepreneurs and SME are, the provision of working capital is notoriously dysfunctional. In some countries, such as Germany, the SME exporter is highly regarded and thus strongly supported. In the U.S., due mainly to ignorance, banks are fearful of money laundering and fcpa, sanctions violations. As a result the delivery of capital where it counts most in regard to creating equality, is sclerotic. This is the great issue. As governments and banks defer to quantitative easing, currency manipulation and other means of gaming the financial system, economies slow and become moribund. In order for an economy to be imbued with equality in opportunity, wealth and income, capital like law must be equitably applied. This is done in very few countries.
