Artificial intelligence and advanced analytics can deliver powerful insights - but only if the data is right. In this Supply Chain Byte, Lisa Anderson explains why manufacturers must get back to the basics of data before relying on AI-driven decisions.
In this Supply Chain Byte, Lisa Anderson explains what defines smart warehousing today: optimizing pick velocity; leveraging automation, robotics and advanced technologies; and managing energy and electricity demands. These factors are critical to improving efficiency, controlling costs and supporting customer service as volumes grow.
As manufacturing rebounds amid continued geopolitical uncertainty, real-time supply chain visibility has become essential to operational resilience. These companies can respond quickly to changing conditions and gain insights into what’s coming down the pike so that they can provide superior customer service and grow revenue and EBITDA.
Supply chain transformations and upgrades require the improved use of ERP. There is no doubt about it - ERP is the backbone of supply chain performance. Clients come to us to improve performance (typically profitable growth, customer service, and cash flow), and the better utilization of ERP was a key part of 100% of these clients and was required to deliver bottom line results.
Artificial intelligence and advanced semiconductors dominate investment and product cycles. Supply chains are not just evolving; proactive executives are reshaping supply chains with resilient, regional, and ready-to-scale strategies.
In this episode of Supply Chain Chats, Lisa Anderson talks with Lorenz Pallhuber, co-founder of Didero, about Agentic AI — what it is, how it works and why it represents a huge opportunity for supply chain teams.
The storm that blanketed the U.S. had impacts that reverberated throughout the supply chain. Artificial intelligence and advanced technologies can refocus efforts from reactive to proactive and improve the outcome for people and mitigate further supply chain disruptions.
As supply chains have increasingly become more complex with greater risks, volatility, and costs, digitizing with smart supply chains has become integral to success. Smart supply chains powered by AI are helping industrial producers improve forecasting, streamline operations, and increase their bottom line.
The value of MRP (material requirements planning) remains intact no matter the company size or industry. Determining how to automate the process, utilize the MRP system and potentially further enhance it with artificial intelligence and advanced technologies can yield powerful results.
Continuous improvement has been the backbone of operational excellence for decades—but today’s pace of change has surpassed it. In this Supply Chain Byte, Lisa Anderson explains why manufacturers must move beyond traditional continuous improvement and embrace collaborative innovation.
