ABOUT

3A Supply Chain is a US based advisory company with a strong focus on better supply chain planning. Practitioners have understood the supply chain, its corresponding business processes and constraints, since the 1990’s. However, it has only been relatively recently with the advent of cloud computing and planning platforms that such complex supply chains can be managed end to end. 3A Supply Chain digitally transforms our clients supply chains by helping them create their strategy, operating model and business process and build their digital twin through available best of breed planning platforms. These platforms provide the capability to process all of the relevant data and make decisions leveraging planning algorithms with artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities to help companies plan in years all the way to hours and minutes quickly and efficiently.

3A Supply Chain was founded by Anant Jain, a supply chain planning advisor with over 20 years of experience. As CEO, Anant provides the strategic direction of the company, building partnerships and supporting clients with their supply planning challenges across multiple discrete manufacturing industries. Prior to founding 3A Supply Chain, Anant spent five years as an independent consultant helping companies digitally transform their supply chain planning processes and technology capabilities. Before that Anant spent brief stints in industry with MedAssets (healthcare group purchasing organization) and JCPenney. From 2009 to 2015 Anant worked for KPMG as a management consultant in their strategy and operations practice with a focus on supply chain planning. Anant started his career in 1998 with i2 Technologies, where he played a number of roles, in consulting, product management and product marketing in Europe, India and the United States. His clients include British American Tobacco, Lego, Caterpillar, Panasonic, Quiksilver, Infineon Technologies, Dell, Nissan, Zales, Delhaize, Ford, Mattel, National Oilwell Varco, Anheuser-Busch InBev and many others. Anant received a Ph.D. in Operations Research and a BEng in Manufacturing Engineering and Management from the University of Dundee in Scotland.

3A Supply Chain has a logo of the endless knot, which is important in several Eastern religions and represents an endless cycle. It symbolizes the inter-twining of wisdom and compassion, the ultimate unity of everything, with no beginning or end. In Sanskrit Anant means endless, limitless or infinite. The endless knot is considered to be the interplay and interaction of the opposing forces in the dualistic world of manifestation, leading to their union, and ultimately to harmony in the universe. From a supply chain perspective, the knot signifies how everything is linked and interconnected, in many cases not very well and in a complex manner. 3A Supply Chain plans better to remove the knots, break the constraints and create harmony in the supply chain.
