JLR deploys supply chain mapping tools to boost resilience
THE AUTO manufacturer JLR has announced a collaboration with Everstream Analytics, which will embed AI into JLR’s supply chain management.
With this new technology, JLR can monitor its supply chain in real-time in order to help avert any future global supply issues, protecting its production flow.
The technology analyses data using a combination of AI, predictive analytics, machine learning and human intuition to plot emerging incidents such as natural disasters, strikes, data breaches and export issues on a global map, alerting JLR to any potential impact on its supply chain.
This capability, which updates in real-time, takes measures to avoid any industrial disruption, which could impact production and increase costs.
The unprecedented global pandemic and semi-conductor crisis caused huge disruption to the automotive supply chain. JLR is now emerging from this period of disruption and is introducing the Everstream technology as part of a wider strategy to build a state-of-the-art digitally enabled supply ecosystem delivering end-to-end visibility and security. Using Everstream’s insights, JLR has already taken positive action to avoid disruption at global freight ports to support delivery of vehicles to clients.
