“Our customers are seeking a new approach to supply chain management, one specifically designed to tackle the agility and resilience demands posed by the daily challenges of volatile supply chains,” said Andrea Morgan-Vandome, chief innovation officer, Blue Yonder. “Blue Yonder’s cognitive solutions, powered by predictive and generative AI, ensure that planning and execution work seamlessly in tandem on a large scale. Our planning solutions span every tier of the supply chain, work off a common set of data and are objective led. They are execution aware which means if a disruption or opportunity is sensed, our patented solvers will recommend options for collaborative resolution. This has replaced conventional ‘scenario’ or ‘what if’ planning with objective-led, range-based planning, preparing the enterprise for many possible futures.”
Blue Yonder supply chain planning capabilities use AI and ML, along with real-time data across the end-to-end supply chain, from suppliers to consumers, to sense, predict and act based on high-quality and highly-accurate plans. With ML forecasting, inventory and supply optimization, detailed scheduling, network design, transportation load building, large-scale retail deployment, and e-commerce promising all operating seamlessly, customers can reduce the decision cycle times, improve service level and margin, and enable growth. For example, AI scenario planning and real-time ML predictions are shifting planning workflows away from the constraints of overnight batches. In addition, the always-on planning approach allows businesses to quickly identify improvement opportunities and potential challenges, enabling planners to respond appropriately to maximize performance and minimize risk.
