Does your Supply Chain execution require too many manual interventions?

I have seen certain supply chains where every action regarding stock deployment, production schedule and purchase order needs to be approved by managers. I have also seen supply chains in the same industry where most of these actions are executed in an auto-pilot mode and managers are involved only in handling exceptions.

What really differentiates these supply chains? If we dig deeper, the difference is mostly in the way their supply chains have been designed and configured. If the design is forecast driven, manual interventions are generally higher as teams try to adjust manually to actual demand. On the other hand, if the design is demand driven and the parameters have been set in a scientific manner, most supply actions can be undertaken without manual interventions.

If you desire to move to a more automated no-touch execution, Demand Driven Supply Chain is the way to go!
