The Journey of Supply Chain Optimization with AWS

Business Challenges in Various Industries

• Automotive Industry:

  • Supply chain complexity
  • Shortage of critical components
  • Leveraging generative AI to streamline contract renewals

• Manufacturing:

  • Siloed data across multiple entities
  • Leveraging AI and generative AI to break down silos and improve information sharing

• Pharmaceutical:

  • Speeding up the process from molecule to market
  • Improving R&D costs and time

• Retail:

  • Complex inventory management
  • Leveraging Amazon's e-commerce knowledge to improve processes

• Fashion:

  • Challenges with fast fashion and unsold inventory

A New Approach: Data-Driven Supply Chain

• Transitioning from a linear, siloed approach to a data platform-centric approach

  • Allowing easy access to data and collaboration across the supply chain

• Collaborating with AWS to help customers, such as:

  • Relocating facilities in different countries
  • Conducting visits to Amazon Fulfillment Centers to identify improvement opportunities

Supply Chain Use Cases

1. Control Tower:

   • Creating a centralized tool to provide visibility and enable "what-if" scenarios
   • Example: Supply arbitration use case to optimize supplier selection and production planning

2. Yard Management and Dock Scheduling:

   • Monitoring and optimizing truck arrival and loading/unloading processes
   • Improving supplier collaboration and contract compliance

3. Industrial IoT Integration:

   • Integrating industrial IoT data to drive operational improvements
   • Example: Reducing lead times and increasing machine utilization in the energy sector

4. Digital Twin:

   • Leveraging digital twins to visualize and optimize facility operations
   • Example: Providing real-time visibility and maintenance insights for a manufacturing facility

Approach to Engage Customers

1. Assessment Phase:

   • Conducting a 2-3 month assessment to understand the customer's current state, weaknesses, and improvement opportunities
   • Providing a report with recommendations for a win-win-win approach (customer, Capgemini, and AWS)

2. Collaboration and Partnership:

   • Working together with the customer and AWS to identify and implement solutions
   • Emphasizing the importance of a joint, long-term journey (typically 1-3 years)

In summary, Capgemini, in collaboration with AWS, is helping customers in various industries optimize their supply chains by leveraging data-driven approaches, innovative technologies, and a collaborative partnership model to achieve sustainable improvements.
