Building Resilient Supply Chain With Integrated Business Planning

Supply chains across the globe experienced fragility on an unprecedented scale due to the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic. No business was able to completely evade the wrath brought in by the pandemic. Though disruptions in supply chains are inevitable, the need of the hour is to plan and tackle the challenges in an intelligent manner and to build resiliency for the future. Enterprises are now bringing in processes, people and technology together to become flexible and adapt quickly to ever-changing conditions across supply chains. In a recently concluded roundtable organised by SAP in association with BW Businessworld and CII, top leaders working in the world of supply chain management discussed several topics including the role of intelligent supply chains, increased online consumption of goods, changing consumer attitude, increasing demand from tier-II/tier-III cities, and challenges of reverse logistics.
