MARKET VISION
Today’s world is characterized by uncertainty and hyper-volatility. This new reality disrupts the market status quo for any business sector.
There will be opportunities for some companies and high risks for others. New contenders will emerge, challenging established leaders.
To manage hyper-volatility and uncertainty
Companies must manage demand closer to consumers and leverage data linked with demand to benefit from lower volatility
Companies must leverage all the possibilities of Extended Supply Networks to enable agility and resilience and reduce total cost to serve
HOW TO LEVERAGE DEMAND CLOSER TO CONSUMERS TO BENEFIT FROM LOWER VOLATILITY
What is required?
- Applying the same process and technology to forecast demand closer to consumers would lead to an explosion in the number of demand planners and associated costs. This is not realistic!
- A company can truly benefit from lower volatility only if armed with technology enabling forecasting at scale, capable of:
- ~Processing massive volumes of data
- ~Supporting auto-cleansing
- ~Leveraging external variables which impact sales by automatically determining best-fit effects
HOW TO LEVERAGE ALL THE POSSIBILITIES OF SUPPLY NETWORKS TO UNLEASH AGILITY AND PROVIDE RESILIENCE
Required
- Transforming a supply chain into a supply network for additional agility, resilience and cost reduction will result in an explosion of the possibilities. If not armed with the right technology, companies will be overwhelmed by complexity.
- A company can truly unleash agility and provide resilience only if armed with the technology capable of leveraging all the possibilities of its supply network:
- ~Smart algorithms for global optimization
- ~Vertical integration of long, mid and short-term planning by inheriting higher level decisions
- ~Horizontal integration & consistency of the extended supply network
