Build a resilient mobility supply chain

The Microsoft approach to mobility and creating a resilient supply chain is captured within the Microsoft Cloud for Manufacturing. The key scenarios covered include visibility and risk management, forecasting and planning, and warehousing and fulfillment.

• Supply chain visibility and risk management: These solutions provide real-time monitoring and analysis of supply chain data. As a result, organizations can identify potential risks, generate actionable insights through machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to manage risks and compliance and take proactive measures to mitigate them.

• Forecasting and planning: These solutions allow manufacturers to use their supply chain, customer, and market data to perform various forecasting and planning tasks. The tasks include creating advanced demand forecasting models, optimizing supply chain planning, generating optimized plans for demand, supply, procurement, inventory, and production from a consensus demand, and helping manufacturers continuously optimize inventory levels. Optimizing inventory levels helps manufacturers to better service customer orders and forecast stock to provide the right inventory details at the right place and time.

• Warehousing and fulfillment: These solutions use automation, robotics, and control systems to drive efficiency and accuracy and optimize order fulfillment through smart logistics to manage costs and customer service.
