Description
We saw in COVID-19 vaccine supply chain that while companies manufacturing the vaccines have very sophisticated planning tools, when it comes to deploying the vaccines into large national systems in the US (and elsewhere) the lack of simple preregistration systems created more uncertainty in demand than there really was. This leads to the detriment of effective supply chain planning right up to the suppliers of key input materials. This session will look at how companies across diverse industries can leverage AI, ML and advanced analytics to overcome silos across the extended supply chain.
