Description
Trevor Miles, Thought Leader at LOP.ai by Bluecrux, shares his observations of how companies typically deal with disruptions and black swan events and why businesses must operate in this way consistently. Drawing on his years of experience working for small and large supply chain solution providers, Trevor highlights the role organizational structure and people play in balanced decision-making, AI and ML play in data harmonization, and digital twins and control towers play in enhancing visibility.
About The Speaker
Trevor Miles has been in the software industry since 1985 and the supply chain planning area since 1994 when he joined i2 Technologies in Europe. Trevor was with i2 for 16 years, first in deployment and then as an Industry Leader in Europe for Automotive before moving to Dallas in Industry Product Management. He's dedicated 10 years to Kinaxis holding the roles of Product Marketing, Industry Principal, and Thought Leader. After brief periods as Chief Strategist at SAP Digital Supply Chain and VP Supply Chain Solutions at Celonis, Trevor joined Bluecrux in October 2020 as Thought Leader with a focus on LOP.ai. Trevor has watched the supply chain planning space move from a niche solution into a cornerstone of every manufacturing company’s operations management capability. In that time, Trevor has seen the transition from on-premise, on-disk solutions to cloud, in-memory solutions, and narrow-focused, functional applications to broad, cross-functional solutions. Trevor is fascinated by the opportunity and threat of the rapid pace of adoption of machine learning and AI in supply chain planning, which is a key capability in LOP.ai.
