#scmtransformation

I run a mid size manufacturing brand and honestly our supply chain was my loudest headache. Every month I faced stock outs in top selling SKUs and excess inventory in slow moving items. Our demand planning was based on excel and gut feeling. Our purchase cycle was longer than necessary because approvals were manual. Vendors were always chasing us for clarity and shipments were frequently delayed because we did not have real time visibility. Everything felt reactive. I was firefighting daily.So we finally decided to move to Oracle SCM Cloud Services. After the implementation our planning became predictive instead of random. I can see real time inventory across warehouses. MRP and procurement approvals are automated and much faster. Supplier collaboration is transparent. Our production schedule is aligned with demand signals. Now I feel in control. My supply chain runs on data not panic.
