Why it matters
The program aims to apply AI across key operations like planning, sourcing, inventory, and service, moving beyond isolated AI projects. It seeks to solve the industry problem where different teams use separate systems and work to different targets. The resulting playbook will be based on the direct experience of participating companies.
