 Prof. Heather Skipworth | Professor of Supply Chain Management and Strategy | Cranfield University

 Dr. Abhi Ghadge | Associate Professor of Supply Chain Management | Cranfield University

Whether this is through the increased levels of supply chain disruptions caused by major risk
events, like the current wars, or whether it’s increasingly demanding customers in a highly competitive market place. This study investigates how supply chain software supports and hinders businesses to meet these challenges, including, how supply chain operations are impacted and how they need to evolve to support the KPI’s, the challenges and opportunities from existing supply chain software, the nature, advantages and future evolution of supply chain software.

Operationalising AI to drive true Supply Chain Visibility

 

 Vikram Singla | Senior Transformation Director - Supply Chain | Oracle

This session will look at the approaches to leverage the benefits of AI. Supply chains have become increasingly complex, interconnected, and expansive over recent years, challenging organisations’ ability to manage them. AI can assist by analysing the proliferating amount of data generated by modern supply chains and using that data to develop remarkably accurate forecasts, reveal operational insights, and improve the efficiency of storage and transportation processes.
