\u201cBusiness is war\u201d may be an overdone metaphor but it\u2019s not without validity. Like the \u201cBomber Gap\u201d and the \u201cMissile Gap,\u201d worries about falling behind the competition, and the resulting threat of annihilation, always lurk in the minds of business executives, If they don\u2019t, they should, because not all gaps are imaginary (the Bomber Gap and the Missile Gap were shown to not exist between the US and the USSR, but the 1980\u2019s gap between Japanese and American productivity was all too real). The difference between paranoia and justified concern is converting fear into facts. This post is about organizing your attention toward possible gaps in your company\u2019s supply chain analytics.<\/p>\n

Surveillance Gaps<\/strong><\/p>\n

The US Army has a saying: \u201cTime spent on reconnaissance is never wasted.\u201d Now and then, our Smart Forecaster<\/em> blog has a post that helps you get your head on a swivel to see what\u2019s going on around you. An example is our post on digital twins<\/a>, which is a hot topic throughout the engineering world.\u00a0 To recap: using demand and supply simulations to probe for weaknesses in your inventory plan is a form of supply chain reconnaissance.\u00a0 Closing this surveillance gap enables businesses to take corrective action before an actual problem emerges.<\/p>\n

Situational Awareness Gaps<\/strong><\/p>\n

A military commander needs to keep track of what is available for use and how well it is being used. The reports available in Smart Operational Analytics<\/em> keep you current on your inventory counts, your forecasting accuracy, your suppliers\u2019 responsiveness, and trends in these and other operational areas.\u00a0 You\u2019ll know exactly where you stand on a variety of supply chain KPIs such as service level, fill rates, and inventory turns.\u00a0 You\u2019ll know whether actual performance is aligned with planned performance and whether the inventory plan (i.e., what to order, when, from whom, and why) is being adhered to or ignored.<\/p>\n

Agility Gaps<\/strong><\/p>\n

The business environment can change rapidly. All it takes is a tanker stuck sideways in the Suez Canal, a few anti-ship ballistic missiles in the Red Sea, or a region-wide weather event. These catastrophes may fall as much on your competitors\u2019 heads as on yours, but which of you is agile enough to react first? Exception reporting in Demand Planner<\/em> and Smart Operational Analytics <\/em>can detect major changes in the character of demand so you can quickly filter out obsolete demand data before they poison all your calculations for demand forecasts or inventory optimization. Smart Demand Planner<\/em> can give advance warning of a pending increase or decrease in demand. Smart Inventory Optimization<\/em> can help you adjust your inventory replenishment tactics to reflect these shifts in demand.<\/p>\n

Innovation Gaps<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether you refer to your competition as \u201cThe Other Guys\u201d or \u201cEverybody Else\u201d or something unprintable, the ones you have to worry about are the ones always looking for an edge. When you choose Smart as your partner, we\u2019ll give you that edge with innovative but field proven predictive solutions.\u00a0 Smart Software has been innovating predictive modeling since birth over 40 years ago.<\/p>\n
