    The Enterprise Edge, w/ SAP | Supply Chain Planning Reimagined | Episode 2: "Autonomous Decisions at Scale: Making AI Work in the Real World"

    What happens when the autopilot turns on, and a supply chain planner can't explain why it made the call it just made? In this episode of Supply Chain Planning Reimagined – brought to you by The Enterprise Edge® in partnership with SAP - Xavier Duprat, VP of Supply Chain Planning at Cascades, and Joel Beal, CEO of Alloy AI, get brutally honest about where autonomous supply chain decisions actually stand today: not in a sandbox, but across 10 North American tissue paper plants, 10,000 retail store locations, and a freshly launched replenishment agent that went live the week of this recording. They unpack… • why "on-time and in full (OTIF)" is the wrong metric to optimize for • how a single in-stock KPI nobody knew three years ago is now getting a standing ovation in monthly leadership reviews • why 15% forecast accuracy improvements are table stakes compared to what agentic AI is about to unlock • why the real architectural question isn't monolithic vs. multi-agent - it's whether your organization has built enough trust to let go of the wheel. If you're a supply chain leader navigating the gap between proof-of-concept and production-scale autonomy, this conversation is your roadmap. Stream it now, and be sure to LIKE, SHARE, and COMMENT!

    The Enterprise Edge, w/SAP | Series: Supply Chain Planning Reimagined | Ep 1: The Value Shift: Reimagining Supply Chain Planning

    If your supply chain planning still runs on monthly forecastreviews and flat-file data dumps, you're already behind - and this podcast explains exactly why. Supply Chain Planning Reimagined is a special series from The Enterprise Edge® in partnership with SAP, and episode 1 - The Vision Shift: Reimagining Supply Chain Planning -  brings together Xavier Duprat, VP of Supply Chain Planning at Cascades (a packaging and hygiene giant running SAP IBP since 2016), and Joel Beal, CEO and Co-Founder of Alloy.ai, whose platform ingestsreal-time POS and inventory signals from over 450 retailers. Together, they dismantle the myth that better supply and demand forecasting algorithms are the answer - the real boon, they argue, is better data, delivered daily. You'll hear how Cascades overhauled its entire sales and operations planning (S&OP) process across 25 North American plants and grew its business by 10%, while simultaneously improving retail in-stock rates, how AI agents are now catchingdistribution glitches in retailer systems that human teams would have missed entirely, and why the best supply chain professionals of the next decade won't be replaced by AI - they'll be the ones who learn to manage it. This isn'ttheoretical. It's a real supply chain planning transformation, already underway, with receipts. Stream it now, and be sure to LIKE, SHARE, and COMMENT!
