Current economic crises create obstacles for supply chains around the globe. Businesses now face the most extreme supply chain challenges in recent years, including:

• The limitations of historical forecasting due to unprecedented disruption.
• Insufficient end-to-end supply chain visibility.
• Unpredictable supply chain and operating risks.

Many businesses struggle to cope with the supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and are in firefighting mode to keep their logistic flow running. That, combined with the continuing unpredictability of the outbreak, has added new urgency to increasing the speed and quality of decision-making.

Traditional ways of planning where internal functions work in silos and data is not (or is limited in how it is) shared between trading partners and may take weeks to determine the exact impact of, for example, a factory closing. As a result, the response to disruptions has been reactive and uncoordinated, and the impact of the crisis is hitting many businesses full force.

With teams working remotely and global policies shifting frequently, it is more important than ever for supply chain leaders to maintain workflows and keep lines of communication open across the broader ecosystem. Establishing an end-to-end planning framework, where all planning processes and data are connected in a single platform, is now more important than ever. Such a system allows planners to have instant visibility into which suppliers, shipments, inventories, and customer orders are at risk. This information allows them to be first in line to secure constrained inventory and production capacity.

During this webinar moderated by Martijn Lofvers from Supply Chain Media, PwC and Anaplan will showcase a tactical “control tower” solution that was built for a pharmaceutical company – and how the Anaplan solution can provide end-to-end visibility and allow planners to orchestrate and optimize the flow of goods from supplier to local warehouses.  

Join the webinar and learn how to leverage Connected Planning in order to:

• Establish a single source of truth for external and internal data and insights.
• Make agile, predictive decisions that help drive business growth.
• Improve demand forecasting accuracy to reduce stock-outs and excess inventory.
