Supply chain difficulties have stymied manufacturers for two years. Yet there are ways to alleviate some of the issues. Many manufacturers have found that automating the planning process can help. Automated planning can extend beyond the finance department. Supply chain disruptions are just one example of the need for agility in planning.
According to McKinsey, automation and AI-based solutions in planning can deliver higher productivity and improved business performance. In manufacturing, automated processes can enhance resource allocation, whether that involves materials, equipment, workers, or logistics. Automated production planning can be used as a future-proofing platform to provide the agility to respond immediately to unexpected events.
