AI-BASED SUPPLY CHAIN ORGANISATION; FROM STRATEGIC SCENARIO BUILDING TO OPERATIONAL SCHEDULING
Hadj Latreche -
Pharma Tech Ops - Global Digital Delivery and Value Realization Director,
Roche
In Pharma Supply Chain, effective planning spans short, mid, and long-term horizons, necessitating strategic, tactical, and operational decisions. AI-based solutions address challenges by enhancing strategic planning with probabilistic considerations and monte-carlo simulation, and optimizing production sequencing through AI algorithms.
Key Takeaways:
- Strategic Planning Boost: Leverage AI for scenario-based strategic planning to navigate uncertainties and production capacity impacts.
- Optimized Sequencing: Implement AI algorithms for optimal production sequencing based on historical data and productivity insights.
- Proactive Decision-Making: Embrace AI-driven solutions for proactive decision-making across different time horizons."

AUTOMATING OUR LOGISTICS PROCESSES TO MITIGATE RISKS & DRIVE CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
Saddam Huq -
Director, Cold Chain and Logistics,
GSK
Reducing human error across the supply chain is paramount if we are to reduce the risk of temperature excursions. Whilst automation is a key enabler of this, in this next case study we go further: in which areas can automation deliver the greatest tangible benefits to your supply chain?
Core focus areas to include:
- Warehousing Automation: What are the latest innovations in warehousing that enable greater visibility and reduce the opportunities for human error to occur
- Operating by Exception: How is greater automation freeing up time for logistics operators to focus on higher value activities and drive new value across their supply chain?
- Leveraging the Benefits of Automation: How is greater automation redefining the role of logistics leaders and the value that they can bring the wider business?
- Process Automation: Which processes can we currently automate and what are the tangible, real-world effects on how we operate our supply chains?
