Description
Summary:[...]the outlook for many blue and white collar jobs has dimmed significantly, at least according to some analysts who predict a future where robots and robotic process automation will replace a significant percentage of today's routine, repetitive jobs.

[...]planners will require a co-location to enable the continuous interaction and improvement. [...]supply chain managers need to understand which additional data needs to be captured and processed in the ERP system to relieve them from more routine tasks.
