"The common practice of outsourcing supply, distribution, and logistics means that most of the factors that go into a resilient supply chain plan now reside outside of internal operations," said Pawan Joshi, executive vice president, products and strategy at e2open. "Decades ago, when supply chains were simpler, planning within the four walls was 'good enough.' Those days are long gone. E2open's modern connected approach to holistic planning leads the way, extending beyond the enterprise to include the myriad of upstream, downstream, and logistics ecosystem partners that make up the end-to-end supply chain. Artificial intelligence (AI) and automation consider all aspects to make, move, and sell goods, and assess the effects of changing channel demand, transportation availability and lead times, supplier capacity and materials, labor constraints, sanctions and duties, and global weather events or other disruptions.
