The Four Essential Components of Effecti...

Supply Chain Now
About this episode

Supply chain planning is a challenge under the best of circumstances. Data management issues, legacy technology, complex supply chains, and a lack of integration and collaboration tools make this already difficult task even harder. That said, only about 20% of GEP’s clients do an effective job at supply chain planning, and the impact can be severe (and lasting) for companies that get it wrong.

What capabilities does a company need to achieve effective supply chain planning in a volatile and complex business environment?

In this Supply Chain Now livestream, Robert Giacobbe, Vice President of the Global Supply Chain Consulting Practice at GEP, joined co-hosts Scott Luton and Greg White to provide a deep dive into how tools such as artificial intelligence, predictive analytics applications, and low-code/no-code platforms can boost performance and reduce costs.

Robert engaged in a live discussion about:

• How poor planning can impact an organization and the advantages that can be realized after mending their planning gaps

• New tools and techniques that should be on everyone’s planning radar (as well as how to navigate today’s confusing technology landscape)

• The four foundational components required to achieve world-class supply chain planning
