We are living in tumultuous times with supply chains that stretch around the world, often have obscure operations, and are vulnerable to disruption in a thousand different ways. Does this make forecasting and supply chain planning impossible? No. But it makes agile, continuous planning, and the digital supply chain platforms that enable it, more important than ever. You need to be able to sense and respond to these disruptions as they happen in order to ensure business continuity.
This newsletter looks at four essential elements of agile planning: precision forecasting, product shortages, truly transparent fulfillment, and end-to-end supply chain visibility. We uncover what’s at the heart of these issues, how to meet their challenges, and how a digital supply chain platform is essential to unlock agile planning. You can also learn how multinational conglomerate Johnson Controls transformed its supply chain with the kind of integrated, continuous planning we’re talking about.
