Recalibrate Your Supply Chain Planning Capabilities With Planning In a Box

Blog / Recalibrate Your Supply Chain Planning Capabilities With Planning In a Box

Ask any supply chain leaders about the biggest challenge they are facing today, and they would inadvertently point to the lack of credible data. In reality, this is not true. What’s true, however, is the lack of insight—the ability to make numbers sing. 

Supply chain planning is like conducting an orchestra. There are hundreds of moving parts, each aiming to reach its maximum potential. When all these moving parts are in harmony, the dots begin to connect, and the perfect sound reaches our ears. 

In the ever-shifting world of business, spontaneity is the watchword. The market demands agility and rapid response to the changing dynamics. But are companies today equipped to handle emerging complexities, let alone lead the change? 

Consider the case of Ford Motors. According to a CNBC report, Ford is about to lose $1 billion in earnings due to unanticipated supply chain issues. Ford is not the only one battling a supply chain crisis. Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun stopped producing its bestselling 737 Max because of supply chain hurdles. 

Ford and Boeing are global giants with access to world-class technology, yet they seem defenseless against market uncertainties.

So where is the problem?

There are tons of technology solution providers in the supply chain industry today. Most solution providers over-promise what they can deliver but fail in real implementation. They do not put themselves in the shoes of supply chain planners and think from the inside out and wonder why planners still rely heavily on spreadsheets. As a result, supply chain teams grapple with multiple tools, siloed data, a lack of innovation, and a complete absence of a crisis management strategy.
