1. Health Care players with a high number of good-practice examples and thus big data do have the chance to learn faster than others.
   
2. Relevant data must be mobilized by a strategy-led architecture and proper infrastructure. Cloud will help to gather and analyze data along the patient journey or value chain . S/4 HANA will play a significant role in here because ERP data are vital to success.
   
3. Data governance must evolve, not necessarily being LLMOps-compatible today. This is asking for a real change process where tech and med cultures come together, appreciate each other, and create a new, innovation-driven digital health care mindset.
   

Please see the latest edition of "Digital Supply Chains - Key to Industry 4.0 and digital business models, leveraging on S/4 HANA and beyond", published by Routledge:
This DSI publication provides a practical guide to digital supply chain modeling, demonstrating an agile approach to how such models can be applied to any Life Care company (and beyond) to build competitive advantage, facilitate new business models and drive towards Industry 4.0. 

Levels of supply chain maturity (Excerpt):

Digitalization offers a lot of opportunities to optimise operations. DSI combines both established levers like OEE, Maintenance, etc. and new technology like IoT, MES, etc. Moreover, by new PPDS concepts such as DDMRP we facilitate that your operations supports your overall digitalization strategy and is prepared. Our teams combine hands-on operations experience with practical IT knowledge and implementation capabilities. 

DDMRP approach of DSI:

Sales and operations planning is a key value driver for operations. While new technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning suggest that planning becomes easier, reality shows increasing challenges. Moreover, the current S4HANA migration of many companies ask for a clear take on what the benefit is and which vendors (IBP or others) are the best for which industry. But even more important, what is the business benefit of all these efforts and how to optimize in terms of an end-to-end approach. DSI shares expertise and knows proven solutions. 

Benefit of predictive demand planning (illustrative):

DSI research results show that 4 out of 5 supply chain organizations lack a proper supply chain governance. Digitalization makes this structural challenge even more relevant. DSI, therefore, has developed a proven tool set for developing supply chain organizations, effectively. Based on well-established supply chain models, your organization can prepare to coordinate your supply chain in an end-to-end mode, effectively, including capability development and change management where necessary.
