It seems Manufacturing is *synonymous of ever-changing edge-technology*. With the launch of **Digital Supply Chain**, the *delivering* of more *efficient* and *quality products*, and customer satisfaction are what leads the market nowadays. However, the *achievement* of this digital journey *insertion* is taking our companies sometimes. In a recent KPMG research, plenty of **CEOs** on Manufacturing mentioned that digital transformation often *appears* to be *moving too slow* and becoming *hard* to undertake; consequently, there is *still a huge gap* to close among Digital **SC** *strategies* and businesses *targets*. The issue is to reach your *digital transformation before* the competition.   **Most common-related Manufacturing challenges**   · **The need for rapidly responding** *to make right-decisions concerning on-demand variability* and *intermittent*-demand. When changes on orders happened more quickly than the capacity of the company to meet those changes, it resulted on wrong Stock-keeping Unit (**SKU)** combination and locations, recurrent internal-inventory allocations, and rushes resulting on high-freight costs. · **Deficient customer-service standards** drive to inventory outs, uncompleted orders, and lengthy-level of order fulfilment, conducting to loss of sales or missing valuable opportunities. · **On the other hand, surplus or obsolescent-inventory:** securing stock to cover service level requirements, fosters too much working-capital expenditure, causing extra costs and internal reassignments. The automation of your Supply Chain Planning (**SCP**) is an approach that brings your digital *strategy to the forefront* to lessen Manufacturing **SC** challenges likely to compromise your company feasibility. By digitising **SCP**, you can *accelerate* the reaction to make *smart-quick resolutions*, *cut down costs*, enhance *cost-effectiveness,* and *grow market* stakes. “*Long-tail”* of products in a company means, it has many **SKUs** with *intermittent demand* issues. This *variability* makes the **SKUs** *challenging* to forecast**,** causing safety-stock to rise to accomplish service levels. To leverage *service* and *inventory*, we *can replace* our manual-reactive planning process with an *automated Machine Learning-driven process* to more *precisely predict* demand and *improve* inventory levels. When you complete the initial stage of *implementation*, you will see *essential benefits* to Manufacturing and distribution **KPIs,** such as a *rapid* and *on-hand* inventory, *diminishing* stockouts while *improving* service levels. **ML** automation makes possible a high per cent of recuperation in *buyer’s productivity*. **Supply Chain and Digital Planning advantages when working together**   - It enables us to *run our operations* more efficiently and *cost-effectively*. - Better *part-level forecast* accuracy to only transferring the inventory *we require* and *when we need* to fulfil our customers’ demands. - We can *provide* our suppliers with a more *accurate demand indicator*. - It allows us to draw and keep hold of *high-competence talent*. - Planners can operate more *rapidly* and *truthfully* when *detecting developing* opportunities.   **Summing up:** take your company on a *wide-digital transformation journey* to build a powerful-efficient business *that betters work for each* of your supplier partners, manufacturing customers, supplier, and your in-house business operations, for both your Manufacturing and distribution sections, and departments all over your enterprise. **Dave Food** [Prophetic Technology](https://www.prophetic-technology.com/) **Subscribe to our emails & exclusive free content.** **[![I want to subscribe](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2979069/174cc371-9cdc-4b94-a32e-9007f0ac4dea.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2979069/174cc371-9cdc-4b94-a32e-9007f0ac4dea)**   - [supply chain](https://blog.prophetic-technology.com/topic/supply-chain) - - - ## Post Your Comments Here #### About Us Prophetic Technology is a team of dedicated people that combine their expertise in business domains with a passion to release potential.s every page it appears on.
