Supply Chain Planning Control Tower
Achieve AI-enabled supply chain planning, end-to-end visibility and control for all participants on a real-time single version of the truth. This is supply chain planning reinvented.
With a fully-integrated planning solution and a planners’ control tower with embedded collaboration, One Network Enterprises’ (ONE) autonomous decision-making AI assistant (NEO) is able to leverage network-wide data to produce better and faster responses to supply chain disruptions. By providing direct value to all trading partners in the multi-tier network, those partners have incentive to participate and share data that makes it easier for companies to achieve the highest service level at the lowest cost.
This connectivity avoids the problems that persist in disconnected networks, such as:
- S&OP process doesn’t understand supply constraints
- Planning team creates demand and production plans based on selling what can’t be made
- Unplanned revenue backlog at all enterprises
- Logistics planning (trucks, containers, etc.) not consumed
- Localized optimization drives conflicting priorities
Supply Chain Planning Reinvented
One Network’s NEO Platform powering the Digital Supply Chain Network™ changes all that.
- Would you like your planning solution to sense and respond, in real time, to both upstream supply constraints and downstream customer demand shifts?
- Would you like dynamic plans that continuously and incrementally adjust themselves when execution issues arise?
- Would you like your planning solution to autonomously execute ongoing transactional updates to make sure your plans are optimally executed?
- Would you like your data to be community-wide and real time rather than enterprise-only and stale?
- Would you like your control tower to have real-time, network-wide visibility and collaboration, to execute jointly with your customers, suppliers, and logistics partners?
Supply Chain Planning That is Continuous and Incremental
Continuous and incremental planning are a breakthrough in supply chain. Together they allow planning to be tied to execution so that as plans change, execution is kept in sync, and as flows change in execution, the plan is updated and reflective of operations today, tomorrow and in the future. All of this is done in live scenarios, alerting user with prescriptive workflows to solve or modeled in scenario comparisons, where in either case tactical actions can be taken in the same screen. This saves the user time, the company has the agility to meet market demand, and it has the resilience to be ready for whatever the future holds.
ONE’s incremental and continuous planning agents are connected to live execution data, sourced from all tiers in the network. This makes for a more accurate plan that is actually achievable, making obsolete the phrase, “I can’t execute my plan.”
Key Capabilities of a Supply Chain Planning Control Tower
Semi-autonomous, fully integrated planning and execution system performs autonomous resolutions within preconfigured guardrails, and engages users while providing Smart Prescriptions™ to guide them to optimal resolutions.
It is self-learning, and self-adjusting so that responses are based on measured lead times – rather than contractual estimates – and planning policies are updated to reflect reality. This optimizes execution without creating “nervousness” in the system, by only fixing what is broken, not re-planning the entire network.
This is planning reinvented. Planning that works across the whole network, simultaneously. This constrains any plan based on realities of suppliers and logistics partners, and subsequently creates all orders and execution activities.
Leverage your existing systems, algorithms, and “bring your own intelligence” with the Tunable System of Control. Wherever you are on the maturity curve, ONE’s open architecture has plug points to connect to processes that were previously self-contained in other tools. We embrace those systems, provide master data as a service to link everything together, and then orchestrate the entire value chain by communicating with your legacy tools.
Already have a supply chain planning solution?
ONE makes your existing planning solution better. Leverage your existing investment but enhance it with the ONE solution. It brings real-time tactical planning married with execution and then feeds back to your system/s of record, to update your planning solution to be better. No more 7-day planning cycles with stale data. Plan on the very latest data and make better, faster decisions that bring better results.
