ABOUT THIS EVENT

AI is changing supply chain planning, but not in the way most marketing suggests. The biggest opportunity is not replacing planners, but reducing decision latency by improving how work, information and accountability move across systems, teams and partners.

In this second ASCLA webinar delivered by DMS, we translate the idea of borderless planning into practical patterns you can apply immediately. This session builds directly on Session 1, moving from diagnosis to action.

We explore three high-value AI use cases that directly address planning friction:

• Exception triage that prioritises what actually needs human attention
• Scenario comparison that accelerates trade-off decisions
• Workflow orchestration that routes decisions with context, visibility and auditability

We also cover the guardrails that matter, including data readiness, governance, explainability and decision rights, so AI strengthens trust rather than undermines it.
