Planning and analytics17 July 2020

This episode explores the role of analytics in supply chains, from how they are used now to how they may develop. The subject grew out of an earlier discussion about business planning, an area where analytics are used heavily.

The conversation looks at analytics from several angles rather than a single technique, including how they feed planning work and where they are headed in the supply chains of the future. It serves as a broad look at how data can support decisions along the chain, both now and in the years ahead.

Key points

  • How analytics are applied in supply chains at present
  • The close link between analytics and business planning
  • Where analytics are expected to go in future supply chains
