Gartner Hype Cycle methodology offers a view of how a technology or an application will evolve over time, providing a sound source of insight to manage its deployment within the context of specific business goals.
According to the analysis by Simon F. Jacobson in the Hype Cycle for Process Manufacturing and PLM, 2014 report, "cloud services will ultimately help manufacturing operations create, improve or sustain manufacturing improvements; provide multisite and multitier visibility; scale more effectively than traditional, on-premises approaches; and contribute toward a flexible and agile manufacturing network."
In the Hype Cycle for Supply Chain Execution Technologies, 2014 report, Simon F. Jacobson and Ray Barger, Jr., present the following business impact: "Supplier quality information is critical to corporate quality, supply chain, operations and engineering functions.
