Solving Supply Chain Hurdles with Generative AI on SAP BTP
AMD
Challenge
At AMD, our supply chain specialists perform critical reviews and root cause analyses when sales orders change from original customer facing ship dates. We work to unravel the complexities behind each change, from dates to quantities, initiating a laborious process of up to 14 manual verifications.
This process, pivotal for seamless operations and transparent communication with planning and customer teams, is currently a tapestry of time-intensive tasks. We’re committed to transforming this challenge into an opportunity for high performance, efficiency and clarity in our supply chain management.
Solution
We enhanced sales order management with the GenAI Supply Chain Troubleshooter tool, integrated with SAP S/4HANA and built on the SAP Business Technology Platform. This novel approach provides deep analysis of sales order commitments, offering enhanced clarity on confirmations and product allocations, supply shortages, and other critical issues.
It empowers AMD with actionable insights, propelling our supply chain towards higher efficiency and responsiveness. The implementation of an AI-powered chat interface simplifies complex supply chain interactions into conversational engagements, offering a groundbreaking level of user-friendliness.
Outcome
Our adoption of a digital Generative AI supply chain experience will help to improve operations. Our intelligent assistant enables specialists, planners, and customer-facing teams to pinpoint and resolve order issues efficiently through conversational language. This seamless interface will streamline decision-making, elevate customer service, and accelerate corrective actions, hopefully propelling AMD to the forefront of supply chain innovation.
The tool is not only identifying issues but also providing actionable recommendations, setting a new benchmark for problem-solving tools in enterprise resource planning.
