Joined by Kinaxis customers to present on their supply chain transformations
OTTAWA and PHOENIX, AZ, May 13, 2019 /CNW/ - Kinaxis® Inc. (TSX: KXS), the leader in empowering people to make confident supply chain decisions, is showcasing how companies see their supply chains in a new light with innovations that combine human and machine intelligence for better planning performance at the Garter Supply Chain Executive Conference.
Managing supply chains in the dark can lead to unanticipated and unwanted results. Yet many companies are still planning without the visibility, flexibility and agility to see what's hidden in their supply chains like risks, missed opportunities and unexpected events.
With continued innovation around visibility, advanced analytics and machine learning, Kinaxis empowers companies and planners to step out of the dark and see their supply chains in a new light with the ability to:
- Spot potential issues sooner, project future impacts faster and leverage machine learning to automatically detect and correct inaccurate design inputs like lead times and yields so supply chains perform as they should.
- Put customers at the center of the supply chain and keep them happy no matter how often or how fast their needs change with demand-driven inventory and capacity plans, and improved short- and long-term forecasting reinforced by machine learning.
- Adapt quickly and easily to today's volatile world and close the gap between planning and execution by using the right blend of human and machine intelligence to maximize performance through S&OP all the way down to the production floor.
"By continuing to plan in the dark, organizations are setting up themselves, their teams and their businesses to fail," said John Sicard, CEO of Kinaxis. "We continue to innovate so companies can maximize the potential of their most valuable asset – their people – by strengthening the power of human intelligence through augmentation with machine learning."
