The Next Generation Supply Chain Control Tower

3 Steps you can take now to shock proof your supply chain and build a digital, end-to-end control tower

Without a Control Tower, it is impossible to navigate through current complex supply chains. Most organizations have some version of a Control Tower today for their supply chain planning. However, the maturity of these control towers can vary widely from basic use cases to advanced solutions, and many are limited in their scope and ability to predict demand shocks and come up with the optimal response as we saw during Covid times.

As organizations assess the maturity of their Control Towers, they need to think about various aspects associated with Technology, Data, Process, Analytics, Organization and Culture. Next generation Control towers must integrate internal and external data from disparate systems, use advanced analytics through ML and AI algorithms to draw intelligent, actionable insights for the users. Furthermore, advanced Control Towers also provide capabilities that help users collaborate across the ecosystem.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss how in the new world of shortages and long delays, you can build a digital command center to connect data, manage risk and improve workflow fast. You’ll learn how to:

• Get a bird’s eye view of your supply chain: manage workflows and approve any escalations, including supplier compliance, material shortages and invoice freezes
• Monitor your network inventory in real-time for each production facility, warehouse, and supplier
• Manage performance and compliance KPIs through business reports with summarized metrics
• Understand overall material risk and coverage based on network inventory, ASNs and supplier acknowledgments
• Get actionable intelligence that helps your planners, buyers, suppliers, and executives to focus on the most critical aspects of business and not be caught in a maze of useless dashboards
