120 seconds to clarity: recognise and resolve OTIF problems based on data

Increase your supply chain efficiency with AI-supported root cause analysis and real-time insights for informed decisions in the event of delivery deviations.

 

The challenge: Global supply chains under pressure

Global supply chains are under constant pressure due to volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA). The causes of OTIF failures or deviations often remain undetected for a long time or cannot be determined efficiently. The reason: manual analyses, outdated reports and data silos prevent end-to-end transparency. Without real-time insight, companies lack the basis for quick, fact-based decisions. The result: reactive rather than preventative measures, rising costs, excess stock, shortages and declining customer satisfaction.

 

Our solution: AI-supported supply chain analysis

The AI-supported supply chain analysis from cbs creates a central analysis cockpit that harmonises data from sales, production and procurement. The solution offers:

  • Second-by-second transparency (< 120s) on causes and effects along the entire supply chain

  • Unified data basis for end-to-end transparency
