Managing Supply Chain Growth with Decision-Support

[iojojoi]

Hey all, I’m diving into supply chain planning for our expanding business, specifically focusing on decision-support techniques that can help us forecast and respond to demand changes. As our company scales, these challenges are only becoming more prominent, and I’m not sure where to start. Any recommendations for frameworks or tools to help us make more informed decisions in real-time?

Great question! In my experience, scaling with an effective planning model can make a world of difference. We found that using decision-support models not only improved our forecasting but also helped us respond to unexpected demand fluctuations. A framework with scenario analysis allowed us to simulate various conditions and test how our supply chain would perform under different scenarios. It’s been invaluable for guiding us through growth.
