Peak Planning addresses the growing complexity faced by manufacturing, wholesale, retail and logistics companies. Increasing demand volatility, scarcity of materials, supply chain disruptions, import tariffs, fluctuating exchange rates and continuous cost increases are putting traditional planning approaches under severe pressure. As highlighted in last year’s track, static planning is no longer sufficient in a world defined by uncertainty and rapid change.
In the breakout sessions, solution providers demonstrate how companies can move beyond reactive planning towards dynamic, scenario-driven decision-making. Through the use of Digital Supply Chain Twins, innovative Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) and Integrated Business Planning (IBP) software, and AI-driven forecasting and demand sensing, companies can simulate “what-if” scenarios, anticipate risks and balance demand, supply and financial objectives. These technologies enable more resilient and agile global planning on the tactical mid-term horizon.
