Supply Chain Planning
A well-planned supply chain is an efficient supply chain—and an efficient supply chain is a sustainable one. Predicting the future and fully anticipating demand is never simple, but with greater visibility of all supply-chain and commercial operations, you can make plans you can trust—and significantly cut waste and costs in the process.
When your supply-chain planning (SCP) processes are as strong and well-supported as possible, you can eliminate wastage and overspending, and reduce costly last-minute shipments that are also emissions-intensive. Whether you’re looking for opportunities to improve enterprise sustainability or just interested in cutting waste and overspending, it all starts with a more visible and predictable supply chain.

79 percent of companies with high-performing supply chains achieve revenue growth greater than the average within their industries.2
The Best Practices of Sustainable Supply-Chain Planning
- Great planning begins with deep visibility, so start by gaining a complete view of your supply chain
- Complement that view with other data (such as demand predictions) to build up a complete view of upcoming supply-chain requirements
- Use data analytics to turn varied data from across the supply chain into actionable, informative insight
- Use powerful new digital tools designed to simplify the planning process, and make smarter long-term decisions on how the supply chain will impact the environment
- Streamline basic planning activities so skilled planners can spend more time considering the most sustainable course of action in any given supply-chain scenario
