And Generative AI is Just the Beginning!

Before discussing strategy and generative AI, we will be looking at some cool examples that you could even try out yourself. This technology burst onto the scene about a year and a half ago and has quickly become a part of how we communicate with each other in all sorts of ways - through text, images, video, audio, and even code. It's pretty wild how fast it's evolving.
But here's where it gets even more interesting: the idea of generative AI as your own personal work agent. Imagine having an assistant that can help you get things done faster, just like how a travel agent handles all the details of your trip. That's exactly what SAP is working on right now, putting generative AI to work for you.

Key Takeaways:

1. This technology is just starting.

Adopting Inventory Automation to Simplify Inventory Management

Being on the Receiving End of an SAP Roll-Out

Our business unit is one of many in a multi-business unit, global organization. SAP had been implemented at the largest business unit and it was decide that the logical next step was to capitalize on the implementation successes and lessons learned, and roll-out to the rest of the business units.

Roll-outs are quicker and cheaper, and we will all benefit from the experience retained from the implementation. Sounds straight forward, right? What could possibly go wrong?

It didn’t take long for us to realize that something went horribly wrong. We were still highly dependent on Excel for our supply chain planning and scheduling, and trusting the data in our system just seemed to be an impossible task. Our adoption of the SAP system and the integrated supply chain solution was nowhere near expectation, and we soon realized that we needed a radical intervention to turn this ship around.

This presentation will reveal the framework at AECI used to transform a silo supply chain solution into a fully integrated supply chain solution.

Education, certification, and empowerment of our people are at the top of our priority list. Functional skills within best business practices along the end-to-end supply chain are essential. Breaking down silos within a system that’s the single source of the truth is necessary for integration. A strong focus on management routines within a global governance system. Valuable and trusted data is the heartbeat of our supply chain success.

Key Takeaways:

1. A supply chain optimization framework with a 360 Deg view of the components that work.
2. Get a handle on the value of daily integration routines.
3. A reliable forecast and stable demand plan are not out of reach when integrating S&OP and MRP

Sappi's Mobility Solution through SAP

All you Need is an Army of 1

In today’s digital landscape, human decision-making remains heavily influenced by the information presented on screens. Individuals rely on their judgment to interpret and act upon this data. However, there’s a growing recognition that data-driven decisions can lead to more accurate and impactful outcomes.

The shift from subjective human assessments to objective data analysis is crucial. Imagine a scenario where Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are no longer colored in red or green but are instead continuously monitored. Rather than waiting for a KPI to turn red, organizations can proactively identify when a green status is about to shift to yellow. This predictive approach allows for timely interventions and adjustments.
To achieve this transformation, several steps are essential:
1. Data Collection and Integration: Organizations must consolidate relevant data from various sources. This unified dataset serves as the foundation for informed decision-making.
2. Machine Learning and Predictive Analytics: By leveraging machine learning algorithms, businesses can predict trends and anomalies.
3. Thresholds and Alerts: Establishing thresholds for KPIs ensures that deviations trigger alerts. Instead of waiting for red flags, teams receive early warnings when a metric approaches a critical point. These alerts prompt immediate investigation and corrective actions.
4. Automated Responses: When a KPI teeters on the edge of yellow, automated responses kick in. For instance:
o Inventory levels nearing depletion trigger reorder processes.
5. Human Oversight: While automation is powerful, human judgment remains invaluable. Data-driven decisions benefit from a blend of quantitative insights and qualitative expertise. Teams must interpret the data contextually and adapt strategies accordingly.
In summary, the era of relying solely on human intuition is fading. Organizations that embrace data-driven decision-making—anticipating shifts from green to yellow—will thrive in an increasingly dynamic business landscape.

Key Takeaways:

1. Data-Driven Decision-Making: The shift from subjective human judgments to data-driven insights is essential. Organizations should collect and integrate relevant data, employ predictive analytics, and establish thresholds for KPIs. By proactively identifying shifts from green to yellow, teams can make timely interventions and optimize outcomes.
2. Automated Responses: When KPIs approach critical points, automated responses kick in. Whether it's adjusting marketing campaigns, replenishing inventory, or managing financial metrics, automation ensures swift actions. However, human oversight remains crucial to interpret context and adapt strategies.
3. Thriving in Dynamic Landscapes: Businesses that embrace data-driven decisions thrive in today's dynamic environment. Anticipating changes, fixing issues before they escalate, and blending quantitative insights with qualitative expertise lead to success.

Remember, the future lies in data-driven agility, where green rarely turns red—it transitions seamlessly to yellow, prompting proactive adjustments.

In today’s world where competition is heating up in the arena, businesses are bound to come up with new and innovative ways to remain relevant, maintain presence in the market place and offer the kind of value which is superior to that of the competitors.
It is without doubt that well streamlined processes are an inherent advantage to the business. Well set up and well run processes help in keeping costs down and contribute positively to the bottom line.

Assets by definition are possessions of the business that bring intended value to the business. These are physical and non-physical in nature. For a business to keep its operations running efficiently and optimally, assets must be kept in a good state of health as a minimum standard. Well maintained assets have a direct correlation with good quality product output and the opposite is true.
Maintenance has to be planned and scheduled optimally to fuel the production output to meet the demands of the business. For this reason, maintenance planning and scheduling form the back bone of a maintenance strategy that adds value to the business, thus it can be viewed as a profit center as opposed to a cost center.
Let's navigate the intricacies of creating harmony between production and maintenance needs of a business.

Freedom is an Attitude

While fulfilling a lifelong dream to motorcycle through Africa, in an unexpected turn of events, Stephen was abducted by Al Qaeda and held hostage in Mali for almost 6 years. He is currently the longest held surviving Al Qaeda hostage in the world. He was kidnapped from Timbuktu, along with a Dutch and Swedish national on 25 November 2011. He was 36 at the time of the kidnapping.

During Stephen's abduction, he was kept far from civilisation, deep in the Sahara, away from the searching eyes of French surveillance planes and drones. He was allowed limited communication with his family in the first six months of his captivity. However, when the French Military Forces arrived in Mali, this ceased altogether. Stephen was cut off from all familiar ways of life. Living outdoors in harsh conditions meant that he had to acquire a variety of new skills including how to protect himself from the elements as well as how to communicate across language and cultural boundaries. But most of all, he learnt how to stay alive; remain positive and be present when everything was stacked against him. Uncertain as to whether he would ever be released or die in the expanse of the Sahara, he made a decision to not let his situation get the better of him. He decided to rather hold onto hope and take control of his attitude. Stephen was finally released in August 2017.

Stephen continues to claim back his life with a fresh and positive outlook, using the skills he acquired in the desert during his extreme experience. A part of this process is sharing his story to inspire others with hope and a way to overcome any situation that challenges or tests them.

"5 years 8 months is a long time. I believe that I'm like any other person. I’m no different. We all have problems, and we shouldn’t judge one another, as we have different coping mechanisms and breaking points. I do, however, believe that it's our attitude that separates us and determines how we cope. Some people give up too easily.”
