Celonis for Supply Chain

While there are many industry-wide challenges for supply chains, such as fluctuating prices and delays, one of the major challenges in supply chain management today is disconnected processes. Supply chains are one mega-process made up of lots of micro-processes, all happening in systems that often don’t play well together and across departments that speak their own languages. Transforming one link can end up causing issues in others, so supply chain managers need to understand how their processes truly run in order to improve them.

Supply chain efficiency has direct impacts on your customers, in terms of shipping speed and accuracy. But a streamlined supply chain also benefits the business through reduced wastage, stronger supplier relationships, and improved sustainability performance. That’s why it’s important to have an efficient supply chain, and supply chain managers can use Process Intelligence to achieve this.

Optimizing inventory management ensures that you deliver customers what they want, when they want it - crucially without stock shortages or surpluses. The benefits of inventory optimization include keeping stock at the right level to improve working capital, while meeting your service levels and sustainability targets. The Celonis platform brings these opportunities to light.

One example of optimized inventory management is reallocating excess inventory to areas at risk of stockouts. This involves real-time inventory tracking and demand forecasting. The Celonis platform can automate many of these actions.

Supply chain optimization is enabled by having visibility over supply chain processes, and how they intersect with other functions, as well as knowledge of how to improve them. Process Intelligence is an enabler of supply chain optimization as it objectively models your processes and orchestrates automation to make them run more efficiently.
