Intuiflow Virtual Conference: The Trillion-Dollar Forecast: How to Fix Modern Supply Chain Failures

Is your conventional supply chain planning failing to deliver results? In this segment from the Intuiflow Virtual Conference, Erik Bush (EVP of Internal Operations at Algo) breaks down why relying strictly on traditional Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and forecast accuracy is a critical roadblock for modern manufacturers and distributors. Despite decades of software evolution, inventory turnover rates across U.S. manufacturing have plateaued—or even slowed down. With over a trillion dollars locked up in inventory, shaving off just 10% could free up $100 billion in working capital. Watch as Erik introduces a path forward through First Principle Thinking, shifting away from deterministic forecast-driven planning toward pull-based, demand-driven operating models. Learn how utilizing stock buffers and pacing production to actual market consumption can absorb real-world variation, elevate performance, and drastically lower inventory levels.
