With macroeconomic conditions like inflation and changing consumer preferences, supply chain optimization and AI technologies are quickly evolving into margin multipliers that support business use cases that align planning with supply chain design. The rapid pace of business changes has made the design of supply chain networks a tactical and even operational activity in many organizations.
Join us for this webinar with GAF and Coupa as we discuss:
- How Supply Chain Design based decision-making is making its way into various planning processes at organizations
- The types of decisions made through supply chain design, including strategic design choices, situational business decisions, and operational trade-offs
- How companies are building resilient supply chains to enable S&OP, inventory policy optimization, transportation spend optimization, and fulfillment model changes
