From Data to Decisions: How AI is Helping Reshape Logistics

Speaker: Dominic Regan, Senior Director, EMEA Logistics Applications

Companies have built up huge amounts of data from their logistics operations, and many are now looking to mine that data to create additional value. AI and Machine Learning provides the ideal opportunity to analyse large quantities of data to drive better decision-making, providing insights and recommendations in real-time. In this presentation we will hear how this is affecting logistics in such ways as the more accurate predictions of journey times, and the better location of products within warehouses. We will learn about customers who are leveraging the ability to analyse large volumes of data to better model their logistics operations, and also take a look into the future, and consider how AI/ML might be expanded within logistics over the coming years.

S&OP: Science or Art or both?

Speaker: Jan Kraaijeveld, Sales Director Slimstock

Aligning your departments requires careful navigation. Often, the translation of available data into insights for the management falls short. However, S&OP offers a solution to this and bridges the gap between supply chain planning and its execution. Jan Kraaijeveld, Sales Director at Slimstock, shares what the differences are between S&OE and S&OP. How can objective arguments (based on patterns, rules, and predictions derived from empirical evidence) merge with subjective arguments (involving creativity, intuition, and personal vision) to evoke emotions?

Demand Forecasting Excellence in Manufacturing

Speaker: Christof Bitschnau, CEO

Accurate demand forecasts are the cornerstone of successful supply chain planning, yet many manufacturing businesses struggle to achieve the desired level of accuracy, particularly on disaggregate forecast levels. In this presentation, we will delve into the unique challenges faced by manufacturing companies. We will explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance forecasting accuracy and supply chain performance. Moreover, we will discuss strategies for establishing a continuous improvement process tailored specifically to the manufacturing context. Join us as we uncover practical solutions to drive efficiency and profitability in your manufacturing operations.

1) Exploring Situation & Challenges
In the initial part of the presentation, we will discuss the specific challenges faced by manufacturing companies in demand forecasting, including:
• Aligning diverse stakeholder needs regarding forecast levels & horizons
• Handling input data quality problems
• Lack of high-quality additional demand signals, like promotions
• Suboptimal demand forecasts from customers
• Challenges in providing accurate demand forecasts on disaggregate forecast levels
• Difficulties integrating sales representatives into the collaborative demand forecasting process
• Ensuring transparency about forecast overwrites and added value

2) Discovering Solutions
In part two of the presentation, we will explore cutting-edge technologies, solutions, and strategies to address these challenges and overcome them effectively. From advanced AI-powered forecasting algorithms to solutions for process support, we will uncover the tools that can revolutionize your demand forecasting processes and enhance supply chain performance.

3) Implementing a Continuous Improvement Process
In part three, we will examine how to establish a continuous improvement process tailored to your manufacturing operations. We will discuss how to ensure that your team stays on track, utilizing feedback loops, performance metrics, and regular reviews to drive ongoing enhancements in demand forecasting accuracy and supply chain efficiency. Through a case study, we will illustrate the results of this approach, providing actionable insights for your manufacturing business.
