Q . AMID TURBULENT TIMES , HOW ARE YOU AND KINAXIS HELPING COMPANIES TO PREPARE FOR FUTURE SUPPLY CHAIN CRISES ?
» In today ’ s global economy , supply chain disruptions have become more frequent and impactful . Traditional supply chain management methods , often characterised by a reactive and siloed approach , struggle to keep pace with these challenges .
One of the core strengths of Kinaxis in managing supply chain disruptions is our concurrent planning capability . Unlike traditional planning methods , which often work in silos and sequence , concurrent planning brings all elements of the supply chain into a single , integrated plan . This allows for instant visibility across the entire network , from supply to demand , logistics to production .
When a situation arises , our platform enables companies to see the impact across their entire supply chain immediately – not just in isolated segments . This means they can quickly understand how a delay in shipping
might affect production schedules , inventory levels , and ultimately , customer fulfilment .
What sets concurrent planning apart is its ability to run multiple scenarios in real time . This lets our clients compare different strategies for handling disruptions , such as finding alternative shipping routes or adjusting production schedules , and then choose the best path forward with confidence . It ’ s about making informed decisions quickly and efficiently .
This approach transforms how companies manage supply chain risks . With Kinaxis ’ concurrent planning , businesses are not just reacting to disruptions ; they ’ re proactively managing
