P&G, a Supply Chain Master and a leading global FMCG Company, is spearheading advancements in supply chain science across the world. Supply Chain is the heart of a company’s operation. Therefore, Supply Planners need to have end-to-end visibility in order to make the right decisions, timely. The introduction of digital technologies gave P&G the power to transform supply chain management as we know it, so that within 10 years the current supply chain design will be obsolete and supply planners will become more of business analysts who lead full end-to-end operations, backed up by self-regulating technologies that optimally manage the entire workflows. With the right foundation in place, companies will capture, analyze, integrate, access, and interpret high quality, real-time data — data that fuels process automation, predictive analytics, artificial intelligence, and robotics. These technologies will soon be cadencing supply chain management and levitating the work of supply planners into a higher level of intellect.
