The Next Era of Supply Planning: Why execution visibility and AI are reshaping manufacturing performance

Manufacturers have invested heavily in planning, and now AI is at the top of the agenda. Yet production is still at risk.

In this webinar, we’ll share insights from 150 manufacturing leaders on where supply plans break down, why issues are discovered too late, and where AI is starting to play a role in helping teams act earlier and protect production.

Join Suzanne Maddux, VP of Supply Chain at Mercury, and LeanDNA’s CMO, Jordan Slabaugh for a practical discussion on what it takes to move from planning to production readiness.

What you'll learn:

  • Where supply plans break down on the factory floor

  • Why shortages and missed commits are still discovered too late

  • What keeps teams stuck in reactive mode

  • How AI is helping  and where it still falls short in improving manufacturing execution
