About the Webinar
According to a recent survey, around 69% of companies do not have complete visibility of their supply chains, and 46% of small businesses don’t track their inventory or don’t have an automated method to track it. These data points are worrisome, as businesses are shaped by unpredictability, rampant inflation, and disruption, which is why traditional demand planning and forecasting techniques are no longer efficient at predicting these changes.
A connected & autonomous supply chain is critical to sense and fulfill the new-age consumer demand and to understand how leading brands are rethinking their global supply chain models for profitable growth in the post pandemic world.
Tune in to this On-Demand Webinar session, in association with SupplyChainBrain, where Rob Handfield, Executive Director of Supply Chain Resource Co-operative & Distinguished Professor of Supply Chain Management at NC State University & Suresh Bharadwaj, Global Platform Head – TradeEdge at EdgeVerve, discuss key supply chain industry trends, the need for efficient demand sensing solutions and pragmatic approaches on how technologies like AI and ML can help build a resilient and autonomous supply chain while preventing inventory stock-outs.
