Description

In any industry reliant on supply chains - manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and hospitality, for example – the notion of bad customer experiences, lost sales, inventory shortages, or lost supplies means major impacts across the organization. And any issues in these areas means your competition is one step ahead of you. 

This is where automation needs to be harnessed and not dismissed as an “IT thing”. The complexities of managing each step of the supply chain process - procurement and sourcing, production control, transportation and warehouse management, cost planning (and more) – can create missed opportunities, shortages, and unpredictable inventory. 

No CXO wants to be in the position of throwing headcount at a problem without maximizing the experience of current employees or exploring the technology solutions available. No, automation is not the “easy button” to solve all process needs, but it must be implemented in order to compete fast in the Acceleration Economy. 

In this session, Ronak Mathur, Automation Architect and Acceleration Economy Analyst, will share: 

• Automation is a broad topic. From workflows to RPA to intelligent automation, what’s the difference?  
• How automation is streamlining the supply chain in regulated industries. 
• The next level of supply chain automation – IoT, mixed reality, data analytics, and machine learning. 

• Breakout Session
