This document discusses how supply chain operations can be transformed to deliver lean inventory management, better customer satisfaction, and higher efficiency. It states that supply chain costs typically account for 57% of a company's costs, with transportation, damages, returns, and insurance making up 16%. The document proposes using the latest technologies like robotic process automation (RPA) to standardize and automate business processes as much as possible in order to improve quality, speed, efficiency and reduce costs. RPA can automate routine tasks to help reduce human effort and increase control over business decisions.

✓ RPA deals business processes like human
does. They automate the routine tasks and
eliminate inefficiencies. Human can find more
capacity, efficiency & control on the business
decisions
✓Furthermore human effort can be more
reduced by making RPA more powerful such
as
‣ Add cognitive capability to RPA. Employ RPA together with cognitive
technologies such as speech recognition, natural language processing, and
machine learning to automate perceptual and judgment-based tasks once
reserved for humans
