AI is also making it easier for executives and managers to rapidly forecast, plan and analyze to promote deeper situational awareness and facilitate better-informed decision-making. It will do so by substantially reducing the time spent on the purely mechanical aspects of day-to-day tasks. This may sound like FP&A’s mission today.

For example, say we predict the quality of the clinker in advance, then we are able to optimize the heat energy and combustion in the cement kiln in such a way that quality clinker is produced at minimum energy. Such optimization of the processes reduces energy consumption and in turn reduces both energy emission and process emission.
