There is a lot of talk about Big Data, Machine Learning, IoT, and Automation marking a paradigm shift in the way companies — and, more importantly, people — interact with supply chain. In this session, we will take a look at a supply chain machine learning algorithm in the real world and examine the opportunities it opens up for individuals to materially impact the business — and their careers.

Currently, the fundamental disconnect across supply chains handcuffs everyone to endless, expensive firefighting. This leaves little room for doing what people do best: finding creative opportunities to grow beyond the transactional day-to-day. A digitized, connected supply chain will offer solutions to automate logistical or tactical decisions so that the people of an organization can raise their heads from tedious processes and finally start driving strategic top-line growth.

In short: you will not be replaced by an algorithm if you don’t think like an algorithm. The truth is, automation can be a huge career opportunity

From developing new applications to offering managed services through seamless connectivity

 Speaker tbc, BICS

Digital technology is disrupting traditional business and their supply chains. The main challenge is how digital technology can be part of truly integrated, re-designed supply chains and not simply added to existing processes and operations. Together with IMD Business School, Martijn Lofvers has created a practical mind map describing market trends, the impact on companies, the challenges and the improvements and outlining route for digital supply chains 4.0. Next to this, Supply Chain Media has developed a Maturity Matrix of European Supply Chain Start-ups addressing the 10 areas of digitization and innovation in the supply chain.
