Practical Use Cases
What Do Autonomous Supply Chain Consultants Do?
Autonomous supply chain consultants use automation to reduce or eliminate the costs and errors associated with human operators. They implement autonomous systems for inventory tracking, manufacturing status, impact analysis and prioritization, predictive analytics, and resolution suggestion, and integrate a control tower approach that enhances process visibility and allows for more precise issue resolution.
They undertake end-to-end autonomous supply chain planning, including enabling multi-tier and third-party automation capabilities. Through their insights and experience, they help companies pursue realistic opportunities where advanced automation technologies like robotics and Machine Learning (ML) can help enhance productivity and efficiency. Autonomous supply chain consultants also play a crucial role in helping companies avoid premature investments in autonomous technologies that yield only marginal gains.
