Supply chains may seem pretty straightforward to the layperson. You order something, you pay for it, and you get it delivered to you. In reality, it is a far more complex process, with an incredible amount of moving parts that need to be managed and controlled, with predictable, dependable outcomes. That's the challenge and the promise that confront Neil and his team at Johnson & Johnson.
Watch the video to see how the Advanced Planning team at Johnson & Johnson is focusing on the end-to-end infrastructure of supply chain management (SCM) to develop the greatest efficiencies to improve the customer experience. Specifically, learn how it is developing a self-driving automated system that gathers and indexes data and then creates an analytics layer, which in turn develops tools that can produce the most accurate forecast of output for a product. Beyond that, Neil talks about taking supply chain analytics to the next level by exploring cognitive automation, a combination of robotic process automation (RPA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) that could revolutionize how Johnson & Johnson serves its customers, and give the company a winning edge.
