Diego Faria
Diego Faria is a supply-chain planning executive and Vice President of ETO North America Planning at Schneider Electric. His work covers planning in engineer-to-order environments, where customer commitments, configurable products, material availability and operational constraints must be coordinated across the network.
His public contribution to the autonomous-planning discussion focuses on confidence-based adoption. Planners validate AI-generated recommendations over repeated cycles, allowing autonomy to increase only when the system demonstrates consistent performance.
Faria’s confidence-scoring approach provides a practical governance mechanism for autonomous planning. It turns trust into an observable process rather than a general attitude toward AI.
Each recommendation requires a statistical or operational baseline, validation window, responsible planner and outcome measure. The organization must also determine who owns a service failure after a planner approves an automated recommendation. Autonomy should be reversible when data quality, supplier behavior or operating conditions change.
