AI-enabled supply chain planning
Rely on integrated AI planning to break free from supply chain disruptions
How integrated AI planning overcomes disruptions
Supply chains must meet the challenges from a web of global disruptions. That’s where integrated AI planning comes in. This type of planning brings together advanced planning and AI, which enables supply chains to:
- Be proactive, anticipate, and make informed decisions quickly
- Create virtual models to simulate and test strategies before implementation
- Automate production and inventory processes, enhance collaboration, and drive operational efficiencies.
Integrated AI planning enables you to anticipate potential disruptions and craft strategic responses in advance. It’s all about quick adaptation and responsiveness, so you’re not caught off guard when a disruption occurs. Planning for the scenario allows for a proactive response.
Staying a step ahead, proactively averting disruptions, is the best argument for integrated AI planning. Any planning effort is elevated with AI technologies, from scenario planning that improves forecasting accuracy to digital twins that create virtual models for testing.
Solutions that deliver integrated AI planning
Strategy and planning are the building blocks of solutions that deliver integrated AI planning.
From origin to the point of consumption, strategy should be an organization’s first consideration and leveraging AI can accelerate the process. Supply chain strategy includes AI & connected strategy and network model analysis.
This fully integrated approach to business planning brings together finance and operations in terms of cadence and systems. The result is a clear decision focus, escalation paths, and strategic horizon. Integrated Business Planning (IBP) includes cognitive demand planning, intelligent forecasting, collaboration, and integrated finance.
