OMP, a prominent provider of supply chain planning solutions, is set to showcase its collaboration with Nestlé at the upcoming Gartner Supply Chain Symposium/Xpo™ 2025, scheduled for May 19-21 in Barcelona. The event will include a session in which Shannon Novack, Nestlé’s Supply Chain Excellence Expert, will outline the company’s strategies for transforming its supply chain across various brands and regions using OMP’s Unison Planning technology.
As companies grapple with growing consumer expectations and rapidly evolving market dynamics, the need for agile supply chains has never been more critical. According to the announcement, Nestlé aims to enhance its supply chain capabilities and organisational agility through this innovative planning solution. Novack’s session will aim to provide insights into the adoption of new technologies, the challenges faced during transformation, and strategies for aligning technological advancements with organisational changes.
This focus on resilience and responsiveness echoes broader themes emerging from the symposium, which will centre on managing risk and ensuring operational continuity amid ongoing global uncertainties. Recent discourse surrounding these issues highlights the critical importance of agility in supply chain management. Companies such as Johnson & Johnson have shared their own experiences of leveraging technology to achieve similar objectives. They also utilise OMP’s Unison Planning, demonstrating a collective industry trend towards integrating advanced planning systems for greater collaborative capabilities and resilience.
Moreover, discussions from other sessions at the symposium will address the integration of machine learning and AI solutions into supply chain processes as a means to navigate volatility and increase efficiency. Firms are increasingly recognising the potential of such technologies to unlock hidden value within their operations. For instance, recent insights from OMP’s collaboration with companies like Kraft Heinz suggest a growing movement towards autonomous planning, which incorporates decision intelligence and sophisticated optimisation techniques into supply chain strategies.
Industry experts underscore that the future of supply chain management will heavily depend on how well organisations can adapt to the demands for more agile and technology-enabled frameworks. The upcoming symposium promises to be a critical platform for professionals seeking to gain insights into best practices, hear case studies, and explore how leading firms are transforming their supply chains to remain competitive in an unpredictable market.
As OMP engages the audience at booth 307 during the symposium, attendees will also have the opportunity to discuss the complexities of contemporary supply chains and explore how the Unison Planning platform is being utilised to address these challenges and drive meaningful change.
The Gartner Supply Chain Symposium/Xpo 2025 aims to equip supply chain professionals with the knowledge and tools to achieve operational excellence, highlighting the industry’s shift toward embracing advanced technologies and innovative planning methodologies as essential components for future success.
