Build A Minimum Viable Data Framework For The Agentic Supply Chain
· Source: forrester.com
In short
Forrester argues that agentic AI will not fix a weak supply chain data foundation but will expose its flaws faster, so technology leaders must establish a minimum viable data framework (MVDF) before agents can act autonomously. The MVDF harmonizes master data, governs a shared semantic model, layers in event-driven visibility and decision labeling, and standardizes five shared anchors — products, partners, locations, resources, and operating standards. Interoperable orchestration standards and explainability/governance are presented as the minimum requirements for agents to act safely, consistently, and traceably.
