„Supply chain is changing, increasing focus on flexibility, reliability, visibility and efficiency. Sourcing is developing new models of supplier collaboration, manufacturing is being transformed by IOT and reshoring, the next generation of planning tools are being rolled out as the brain of the supply chain, and new deliver solutions are transforming final mile logistics. The supply chain of the future will look very different to today."

„With all the hype around lights-out planning, demand sensing, machine learning and demand-driven supply chains, the skills that will be most valuable in planning teams will be changing, and so will the day-to-day life of the planner – arguably for the better."
