ABOUT SUPPLY CHAIN CANADA WORKSHOPS

WHY ATTEND THIS WEBINAR

Cut through the noise. See where AI actually pays off in supply chain today—what to pilot, what to pause, and how to deliver ROI without breaking data/privacy rules.

  • Clarity now: Separate buzzwords from deployable use-cases
  • Fast wins: 90-day pilot ideas that move forecast accuracy, cycle time, cost, and OTIF
  • Safe & compliant: Guardrails for data governance, privacy, and change management
WHY IT MATTERS IN 2025

S&OP/SIOP cycles, volatile demand, long/variable lead times, and labour gaps make AI copilots, demand sensing, and exception automation must-haves—not nice-to-haves.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
  • The five AI use-cases that consistently return value: demand sensing, lead-time prediction, dynamic safety stock, exception triage/coplay, and supplier-risk early warning
  • When not to use AI (low data quality, small SKU velocity, regulatory constraints)
  • A starter stack: data readiness checklist, build vs buy, integration with ERP/WMS/TMS
  • ROI math: scoping, baselines, KPIs, and proving value in 90 days
  • Guardrails: privacy, IP, vendor due-diligence, and change management
PERFECT FOR

Analysts to executives across procurement, planning, logistics, operations, inventory, sourcing, finance, IT/data—from manufacturing, energy, retail, public sector, healthcare, agri-food, construction, logistics/3PL, tech, and more.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

Zero hype. Field-tested playbooks, live demos/screens, simple ROI frames, and templates you can use the same week.

YOUR TAKEAWAYS

  • AI Pilot Canvas (scope, data, KPI, risk)
  • Data Readiness Checklist (quality, governance, security)
  • Vendor due-diligence prompts (fit, cost, privacy)
