Proactive supply chain management for the agriculture industry

Agriculture is one of the most important industries, as agribusiness leaders provide supplies like seeds for farmers and thereby food necessary for people and animals to thrive.

In touching so many lives, the agriculture industry also involves a uniquely complex supply chain. When each disparate link in the supply chain uses its own systems, disconnects inevitably emerge, making it difficult to gauge demand, plan production and allocate products. You wind up making inaccurate decisions that can pose heavy costs.

From reactive to proactive production planning

The Problem:

When supply chains feature disparate systems, pre-production planning can be exhausting for decision-makers who must reference multiple sources of truth regarding demand and global inventory levels.

Most therefore take reactive approach, risking over-production (leading to unnecessary costs and waste) or under-production and poor inventory allocation (leading to poor customer relations).

Optimize future supply planning

The Problem:

Inaccurate demand forecasts also present challenges when working with suppliers, as forecasts directly impact their scheduling, production and performance.

Therefore, integrating suppliers into any future supply planning is critical to ensuring they provide the precise amount of products or materials to meet forecasted demand—and you don’t face fulfillment delays or supply shortages.
