A Supply Chain Digital Twin is No Twin without Attributes
Building a digital twin of your supply chain simply means building a digital model of your supply chain. S&OP solutions do that by making approximations of what the physical supply chain looks like. It gives the appearance of a twin but a fraternal one at best.
Resilient Supply Chain Planning, Opposite of Response Planning
Supply chains need to be digitalized to become resilient not to just react and respond. Predicting potential issues and being ready is very different from virtually running around performing what-if this and what-if that!
Stochastic Planning – A Shift in Paradigm from S&OP
With stochastic planning and ability to learn patterns of behavior we are at a point to know the exact availability of resources, tools, customer and supplier behavior as they change in different seasons, with events or other social and environmental factors.
Ingredients of Supply Chain Digitalization
Digitalization requires a digital twin of your supply chain, i.e. a digital representation of the physical world. Our terminology is a “Digital Mirror” to focus on every little aspect of your environment.

What is an Intelligent Planning System?
Intelligence is a relative concept and hard to define. When it comes to number crunching and speed of calculations, machines do much better than humans. By the fact that we attribute the mathematical ability to intelligence, machines must be very intelligent!
So you want to do autonomous planning
According to a Gartner survey, “in two to five years a quarter of companies plan to be doing some autonomous planning. Over the same period, 97% of companies plan to have some form of automation in their supply chain decision making.”
Difference between Supply Chain Planning and Execution
What sets planning and execution apart is really the horizon and timing between the time a decision is made and when it is realized. In general, we plan for responsiveness and execute for reliability.
