Kraft Heinz leverages AI for supply-chain decisions

Kraft Heinz is harnessing AI and advanced technology to enhance its supply chain efficiency and resilience. 

Through strategic investments and collaborations, the company is moving towards a fully autonomous supply chain that can swiftly respond to demand fluctuations and disruptions.

Key Takeaways

• AI-driven decision-making: Kraft Heinz is leveraging its Lighthouse platform, powered by proprietary algorithms, to make more autonomous supply-chain decisions and handle disruptions by using data from suppliers, factories, and distribution centers.

• Investing in resiliency: The company is pooling scattered supply chain data to create a centralized system, aiming for a fully autonomous supply chain. The goal is to enhance efficiency and avoid service disruptions.

• Collaboration with Microsoft: Kraft Heinz is working with Microsoft to integrate data and analytics through Microsoft Azure and develop a generative-AI tool called KraftGPT for streamlined operations.

• Focus on efficiency: Despite declining sales, Kraft Heinz continues to invest in AI and automation, retraining teams and hiring data and automation experts to improve supply chain resilience without replacing its workforce.

Our Thoughts: Kraft Heinz's strategic use of AI to enhance its supply chain reflects a broader trend among food manufacturers to boost efficiency and adapt to changing consumer demands. The integration of technology like Lighthouse and KraftGPT is a strong step toward achieving a fully autonomous supply chain.
