Machine Learning Takes the Wheel in Autonomous Supply Chain Planning Navigate the Future

Autonomous supply chain planning is neither pie-in-the-sky nor purely aspirational. Rather, it is the only viable response to today's globalized, e-commercialized, omnichannel business environment, where organizations must cope with a constantly shifting deluge of information pouring into the enterprise from all corners of the marketplace. There is no longer any way companies can manage supply chain planning by increasing the size of their planning teams. Secondly, the combination of seasoned, yet simultaneously tech-savvy, talent needed for the job is in increasingly scarce supply. Thirdly, and perhaps most crucially, people, no matter how many or how smart, don't have sufficient brainpower to deal with the scale of inputs and outputs in the modern supply chain --only machine learning can keep up.
