Leading software vendors showed their views on supply chain planning at the inNOWvate Supply Chain Event of Supply Chain Media BV in Amsterdam on May 22. A pressing question that recurred in every presentation was: how do you deal with chain disruptions and erratic demand patterns? Each supplier had their own answer. Over the past decades, companies have spent millions of euros buying enterprise resource planning (ERP) and advanced planning and scheduling (APS) systems. But these turned out to be worthless when Covid-19 broke out. ‘As soon as there is uncertainty in the supply chain, companies quickly fall back on manually controlling their purchasing and production processes,’ observes Jean-Baptiste Clouard (pictured), CEO of the young software company Flowlity, which specializes in forecasting and inventory planning. During his presentation at inNOWvate, he advocates for a self-healing supply chain supported by three pillars: better forecasting of demand and automatic detection of deviations, being able to simulate the consequences of disruptions in real time, and automatically communicating planning decisions to all relevant supply chain partners. Anticipating uncertainty from within your supply chain organization better is also what AIMMS does with its solutions. ‘But at a strategic planning level,’ Zoe Kokje Schouten Schouten stresses. A little later, Nazim NACHI, CEO of PlaniSense, a young French software company that provides solutions for demand planning, production planning, and scheduling, explains how to deal with uncertainty in a manufacturing environment. According to Reinier Zuurmond of consultancy firm Supply Chain Company, good software is definitely important, but a good planning process involves more than just technology.

Supply Chain Integration "Organizations can strengthen and sustain their vertical supply chain by fully embracing and effectively implementing supply chain integration practices. However, achieving effective supply chain integration is challenging due to the growing complexity of supply chain networks and the rapidly evolving political and economic environment." In this research article, Shehmir Javaid from AIMultiple research provides an overview of the drivers for better integrated supply chains, as well as some of the barriers. Shehmir also includes "7 best practices": - Establish clear goals and objectives - Leverage composable digital solutions - Achieve end-to-end visibility - Foster collaboration and information sharing - Adopt a data-driven approach - Implement standardised processes and metrics - Continuously monitor and improve. At Kompozable Ltd, we agree that any endeavour needs to start with clear goals and objectives, and as a next step you should assess your current supply chain capabilities and prioritise the integration points, both internally and externally. Until you understand what you're trying to achieve, where you're starting from and the key requirements, you really shouldn't be making technology decisions too early. The rest of the suggestions, especially to be "data-driven" we 100% agree with. #supplychainintegration #dataintegration #ipaas #integrationplatform #liberateerpdata #composableerp https://lnkd.in/e9bh-pQv
