In this News Desk interview moment, Tom Smith speaks with Accenture’s Paul Prendergast, Europe CFO and Enterprise Value Lead, and Artur Siurdyban, Process Mining Capability Lead, Europe, during Celonis’ Celosphere 2022 conference in Munich. Siurdyban discusses a hackathon-winning app that Accenture developed to help companies manage supply chain disruptions.
Highlights
00:07 — Celonis can provide a digital twin of a company’s entire supply chain. It knows where shipments, suppliers, and distribution hubs are so it can help you assess the risk to supply chains.
00:32 — Users of the Accenture-developed app can get an early warning if a supplier that accounts for a vast majority of their key raw material is in an affected area. They can learn about that quickly, giving them time to react and take preventive measures.
00:54 — Because the technology knows where shipments are, it can reroute shipments based on integration with map algorithms in an automated way so that they avoid areas of high supply chain risk and make sure customers get their products on time and in full.
01:14 — There is a perfect combination of a digital twin that uses information taken from Accenture customers’ ERP systems along with state-of-the-art integrations: AI-powered fire data coming from NASA, for example, allows Celonis to know within three hours where there are fires and where to take corrective actions for shipments. It can reroute based on integrations with map algorithms, then write that detail back into your ERP system. Celonis will completely change the physical world in which supply chains operate.
