"Nissan's Gerardo de la Torre Discusses Employing Digital Technologies for Enhanced Supply Chain Transparency - Red Sofa"

Nissan is taking significant strides in digitalising its supply chain management, as evidenced by a recent discussion led by Gerardo de la Torre, the regional senior director of supply chain management at Nissan Group of the Americas.

At the Automotive Logistics and Supply Chain Digital Strategies North America 2025 in Nashville, de la Torre spoke on the Red Sofa about Nissan's approach to digital resilience in its supply chain. He emphasised the importance of technology in making supply chains more efficient, resilient, and productive.

One of the key tools Nissan is using to achieve this is the supplier visibility platform. This platform is a crucial component in Nissan's strategy to mitigate risk, unlock efficiency, and ensure regulatory readiness. It provides visibility across all tiers (tier-one, tier-two, tier-three, Tier-N) of Nissan's supply chain, allowing the manufacturer to understand the suppliers' tier-ones and where they procure their rare earth materials.

The supplier visibility platform is also a part of Nissan's approach to digital resilience, linking visibility, cybersecurity, and compliance. It is included in Nissan's non-disclosure agreements and is part of its strategy for new product development.

Moreover, the platform is useful in managing the shortage of rare earth minerals. With the supplier visibility platform, Nissan can predict run-out dates for these critical materials, helping to mitigate potential disruptions in its production line.

However, the manufacturer of the digital platform for supply chain visibility used by Nissan is not explicitly identified in the provided search results. Similarly, the official documentation location within supplier collaboration documents with Nissan is not specified.

Despite these uncertainties, it is clear that Nissan is committed to building end-to-end digital resilience in its supply chain. By focusing on technology, the company aims to become more efficient, resilient, and productive, setting a strong example for other manufacturers in the industry.
