Embrace an autonomous future

EY teams can help you transform away from a rigid, linear approach to planning and PLM and toward networked ecosystems on the path to an autonomous future.

Leverage AI and machine learning

The future of planning and PLM is a powerful combination of artificial intelligence and machine learning, where systems detect, interpret and resolve problems autonomously, in collaboration with suppliers and customers.

Transform your planning and PLM

Transform your end-to-end supply chain with the help of EY teams, leading to improved efficiency and lower costs, increased resiliency and agility, and higher customer satisfaction.

Your business challenge

Organizations face a multitude of pressures on their products and supply chains, including volatility and disruption, inflation and rising supply chain costs, evolving customer demands and talent shortages. Organizations are asking themselves:

  • How do we set up our supply chains to navigate future disruptions?
  • How do we move from being reactive to proactive in planning?
  • How do we effectively collaborate with suppliers and customers?
  • Are we innovating in a way that adds value?
  • How do we ensure our organization is an attractive place for talented people?
