What is Amazon Connect Decisions?
AWS describes Amazon Connect Decisions as a supply chain planning and intelligence solution with AI teammates that work alongside your team. They harmonize demand signals into consensus forecasts, generate supply plans that respect real-world constraints, and actively monitor operations to prevent problems, resolve issues and identify root causes for continuous improvement.
AWS describes Amazon Connect Decisions as the next generation of AWS Supply Chain.
Core capabilities
- Adaptive intelligence: AI teammates learn from every decision the team makes and translate that expertise into better recommendations through closed-loop learning
- Demand intelligence: Orchestration of multiple foundation models and forecasting tools, item-level forecasts, reconciliation with customer commitments, and accuracy monitoring with automated root cause analysis
- Supply intelligence: Supply plans that adapt to real-world constraints, continuous monitoring of inventory positions and supplier performance, and triage of exceptions with actionable recommendations
- Onboarding intelligence: Guided setup through natural language conversation, including data preparation, business rules and connecting data sources
Typical use cases
Building a consensus forecast: Forecasts from different sources and customer commitments are consolidated into one reconciled view.
Planning supply under constraints: Supply plans account for capacity and delivery constraints instead of idealized assumptions.
Handling exceptions: Variances in inventory and supplier performance are detected, prioritized and paired with recommended actions.
Accelerating adoption: AI-powered onboarding guides data connection and the configuration of business rules.
Benefits
- Reconciled forecasts instead of parallel, disconnected views
- Supply plans that incorporate real-world constraints
- Continuous monitoring of inventory and supplier performance
- Guided onboarding without an extensive preliminary project
