The Self-Disrupting Supply Chain: SKF’s Digital Planning Transformation

Everyone is talking about supply chain disruption; but what about companies that disrupt themselves?

Despite being a leader in the bearing business, SKF rejected complacency and embarked on a high-profile digital transformation, aiming for near fully-automated supply chain planning. Jörg Schlager, Business Transformation Manager at SKF will share his company’s journey to integrated supply chain planning with the help of a digital twin. You will learn how SKF optimized inventory levels throughout its network, established end-to-end accountability for its planners, and has already reduced inventory by 12 percent - with 20 percent fewer planning resources. These achievements made SKF the winner of the prestigious 2020 Gartner Supply Chainnovator Award in the Industrial category.

In this one-hour session you’ll learn:
- Tips for building a digital twin to extend SC visibility and identify opportunities
- How SKF is dismantling silos and moving towards integrated planning
- How SKF uses ToolsGroup planning software to optimize inventory and service levels to compete effectively without incurring excessive storage, transportation
costs, and obsolescence
