#bluecruxtalks crash course - Part 4 - Technology Stack StrategyBluecrux
Your expectations from your APS are too high. If you think it will solve your supply chain challenges, think twice.
Typically, Supply Chain Managers aim toward operational excellence and end-to-end visibility by implementing advanced planning solutions with the intention of:
- Seeing all the incoming demand and splitting work accordingly
- Planning resources more effectively
- Making better decisions faster to avoid shortages or reduce bottlenecks
But your APS cannot do it all on its own.
A broader technology stack needs to be embedded around your APS to get effective E2E digital transformation around your supply chain transformation processes.
Check out the final part of our #bluecruxtalks crash course and learn which type of solutions can augment your APS capabilities and how.
#bluecruxtalks crash course - Part 3 - Next-generation planning processesBluecrux
Supply Chain Managers are still continously challenged with local shortages and balancing inventory even when using advanced planning systems.
When facing local shortages, Supply Chain Planners must wait for all the data to be collected and analyzed in Excel, to paint a picture in many cases with lagging data and wait for the right person and/or organization to approve changes to the original plan… but the shortage is still there.
What actions should you take to build Supply Chain resilience and agility? How can you enable your Supply Chain Planners to be more responsive and help you identify and avoid shortages in advance?
Part of the answer lies in (a lot of) live data and organizational change.
Want to learn in detail how you can build the next generation of planning processes?
Then check out the slide deck of the third session in our #bluecruxtalks crash course, where we discuss next-generation planning processes.
#bluecruxtalks crash course - Part 2 - Digital-Ready People & Organizations.pdfBluecrux
In today’s world, Supply Chain Planners are under higher pressure to wear more hats inside the organization. They are expected to:
- Communicate powerfully and become business partners.
- Accurately manage more data.
- Understand and apply advanced analytics to the data
- And develop and oversee the execution of highly accurate plans.
But are these expectations realistic? What will the Supply Chain Planner role be like in the future? And what set of skills should digital-ready supply chain organizations have?
#bluecruxtalks crash course - Part 1 - Master Data Factories.pdfBluecrux
Today, organizations transform their planning landscape by implementing powerful APS solutions with the intention of achieving supply chain excellence by:
- Gaining end-to-end visibility
- Improving customer experience
- Increasing cash conversion
- Increasing efficiency
- Improving effectiveness
However, few of them have the data foundation needed to take full advantage of their APS capabilities because these solutions require larger quantities of data, of higher complexity, and higher quality.
We have identified 7 guiding principles for successful data governance after many planning transformations made at clients such as J&J, Roche, Novo Nordisk, Astra Zeneca...
#bluecruxtalks: building a best-in-class planning technology stack strategyBluecrux
For many customers of ours, planning transformations are a transition into one integrated planning system. However, we see a strong need to have supportive systems throughout the transformations we’ve supported.
How do you position the need for additional system capabilities, beyond the integrated planning tool, as a business lead? What is the right approach to building your planning technology stack?
In this fourth and final session of our APS transformation series, we want to share what we’ve seen in the industry. We’ll give insight into what your peers perceive as core capabilities part of the APS suite and supporting activities that best find their home in other, best-of-breed solutions.
Are you ready to build the best-in-class planning technology stack with a solid business case together? We are!

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
