WEBINAR: Tackling Manufacturing’s Billion-Dollar Parts Problem with AI

Organizations face constant challenges in optimizing their MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) data. With vast amounts of capital invested across assets and sites, managing the risk of downtime becomes a crucial, yet often a neglected task. Optimization becomes impossible when trying to make sense of MRO/spare parts data, tangled in a web of fragmented teams, processes, and technology. And attempting to solve these problems with traditional approaches like data cleanses only results in sub-optimized inventory, temporarily clean data, and reactive maintenance strategies – which are not only costly but also a huge headache for procurement and operations teams.

Join us as we explore how AI technologies remove data prerequisites, streamline MRO inventory data management, and unlock significant value for your end-to-end MRO inventory and material supply chain, with your data as is.

In this session, we’ll discuss how to:

  • Leverage data-driven insights by enhancing outdated processes and systems with purpose-built AI technologies
  • Find million dollars savings hiding in your MRO, while also improving demand forecasting, streamlining tail spend, and enhancing criticality assessments
  • Improve cross-department collaboration between maintenance, operations, and procurement teams to ensure a unified MRO management approach
  • Boost operational efficiency to optimize criticality assessments, inventory management, minimize downtime, and increase overall efficiency

Profitable Manufacturing Unveiled: Crafting a Winning S&OP Strategy

The manufacturing sector is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by fluctuating market demands, technological advancements, and the need for more resilient supply chains. In this context, traditional demand planning methods are proving to be insufficient for achieving operational efficiency and profitability. A sophisticated collaborative Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) strategy has emerged as a critical component for manufacturers aiming to synchronize their production processes with market demand, while also ensuring financial sustainability. This webinar delves into the essential elements of a successful S&OP strategy, focusing on three key areas: The Limitations of Traditional Demand Planning: This section addresses the critical shortcomings of conventional demand planning methods in today’s volatile market environment. It highlights the necessity for a more integrated, collaborative and flexible approach to planning that can adapt to rapid changes in demand and supply conditions. Innovative S&OP Strategies for Aligning Production with Demand: We explore the latest S&OP strategies that facilitate a seamless match between production capabilities and market demand. This part of the webinar will provide practical insights into how manufacturers can leverage these strategies to minimize waste, optimize resource utilization, and enhance customer satisfaction.

Can AI be the Unexpected Ally for Demand Planners?

Today’s ecosystem is fraught with volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (vuca) brought on by 2+ years of COVID, the war in Ukraine and multiple socio-political factors. Demand Planners carry the huge responsibility to navigate their organization through these difficult times but are left with traditional tools, starting from the assumption that the past will repeat itself. However, research conducted over the past two years indicate that demand forecasting investments made in AI-based platforms can return up to 6 times greater benefits over investments made in traditional planning systems.   This raises a few questions: Should planners autonomously embrace these new technologies to guide their organization through change? What changes can AI bring to an organization’s planning environment? How will it impact demand planning roles, and will humans be able to stay in control?   In this webinar, experts from Garvis will discuss this topic together with Robert Byrne, the inventor of “Demand Sensing”. They will bring more clarity to these questions and talk about the potential behind a new generation of AI planning solutions.
