A practical guide to autonomous planning

Autonomous planning provides supply chain organisations with higher-quality plans and decisions, increased agility and scalability. Many organisations, however, struggle to achieve these benefits due to misunderstanding of the capabilities required to plan autonomously, lack of vision and strategy, poor stakeholder alignment and resistance within the planning organisation. This paper introduces a definition framework for autonomous planning and provides a practical approach to maturing autonomous planning capabilities. This seven-step process is grounded in the successful autonomous planning journey of Micron Technology.
