    From E2E visibility to orchestration

    JP Doggett posted a calendar event in Data & analytics

    until
    Supply disruption from the pandemic and Brexit has pushed end-to-end visibility to the fore but the real value is moving from a reactionary, defensive stance to being able to proactively orchestrate actions alongside your supply chain partners. This discussion will explore how steps towards this ultimate vision, starting with what you already have. Discussion Partner: AGENDA From E2E visibility to orchestration Now: how best to leverage existing assets? Next: maximising leverage from investments in E2E visibility Beyond: what does E2E orchestration look

    The disconnect between plans and reality often undermine confidence in the effectiveness of planning processes. One of the main causes of this disconnect is latency in decision-making: the time between an event being detected (or predicted) and action being taken. This discussion will explore how this gap can be closed using an integrated business planning and execution framework which can realise value from investments in IoT and AI.

    Every supply chain has its idiosyncrasies, every organisation its own patterns of demand and forecasting. There's therefore no fixed way to rate or select 'the best' planning tool - rather you must select the best tool for your organisation. This session is aimed at those who know there is a need for a planning solution or a change of tool; who are evaluating the best options and beginning the process of shortlisting or narrowing down the search. We'll look at selection process and methodology, looking at scorecasrd frameworks that can help prioritise and narrow the field. We'll draw on expert

    Next-gen omnichannel retailing

    JP Doggett posted a calendar event in E2E orchestration

    until
    The pandemic has prompted a shift to non-store channels, including delivery and click & collect, accelerating a trend that was already well established. For many, the response has been tactical with a 'whatever it takes' approach to serving customers however they wish. In tandem with the drive to reduce waste, there are important questions about whether the status quo is sustainable or whether a fundamental re-think and re-design of supply chain operations, enabled by digital technologies, is now an urgent priority. If so, how? AGENDA Next-gen omnichannel retailing - e2e visibi

    Output from a member discussion hosted on 22nd April by Aleem Bandali of o9 Solutions: How machine learning can improve forecasting accuracy across channels with leading demand indicators Forecast accuracy: allowing for different tolerances and categories, the typical scenario has been for 10-20% of SKUs to fall outside the forecast accuracy tolerance limit. This rate often doubled during the pandemic, generally not including availability-driven deviations; Machine learning impact: across a wider sample of retail businesses who have implemented machine learning, the typical ch

    Although there continue to be many challenges in arriving at a robust plan in the first place, this discussion focused on how to close the gap with execution or, in other words, reduce time lag or latency of deviations from plan being predicted and detected to being successfully managed. Latency definition: how quickly can you predict something is going to happen? How quickly can it be filtered in the hierarchy? It’s fundamental to how the SC and finance are organised. Latency is a combination of data availability and process Latency -1 (predictive) Scenario planni

    As we witness piecemeal recovery from the pandemic, and extreme fluctuation due to localised lock downs and restrictions and their effect on consumer behaviour, it's become even more vital to know what's coming next, and where demand will come from. Ticketed events can yield early insight into recovery, acting as a vital data source for those who need to pick up early market signals to be able to avoid shortages and manage supply. In this discussion we'll discuss what insights some companies are already gleaning from events, whilst sharing key intelligence on what events tell us, how you can b

Key points: Covid highlighted visibility gaps; it might be about mitigating cost or it might be about ensuring provision of supply Ecommerce spike has increased inbound volumes by 43% (in the US), coupled with port congestion its taking longer to discharge containers and get empty equipment back into circulation causes the rates to remain at elevated levels.

    Technologies promising to revolutionise the way we do business emerge at an ever-increasing pace, IoT, AI, ML and Blockchain are but a few of such innovations. While much is written and said about the potential benefits from the latest technology leap, realisation at scale lack behind the envisioned potential, and most organisations still have a long path ahead of them before realising the much-vaunted Autonomous Supply Chain ambition. The difference in vision and reality is caused by a multitude of reasons, ranging from unclear goals, misunderstood current capabilities to unrealistic exp
