Organisations make significant investments ($100M+) in Supply Chain Technology and Software (WMS, TMS, E-Commerce / Omnichannel, MDM, ERP, OMS, Forecasting and Replenishment, Store Inventory Management, Etc. They seldom realise the benefits identified in the business case for these initiatives.
​
Quantifiable benefits that can be achieved from holistic and collaborative Supply Chain Planning and Execution tends to be significantly larger than the sum of benefits from specific initiatives.
​
However, this requires cross-functional skills in diverse areas such as Finance, Merchandising, Procurement, Inventory, Logistics, Warehouse Management, Transportation and Store Operations.
The program aims to transform silo-based planning and operations to a collaborative and data-driven decision-making capability.
