Message to the Supply Chain Community
It’s an honor to be recognized as a leader in the supply chain community. I see this as an award not just for me, but for my entire team. This accolade is a true testament to the excellent work and dedication of my team as they continue to deliver innovative solutions for our customers to the most pressing supply chain challenges today, plus how we can push the industry forward in the future.
In an industry facing unprecedented supply chain and logistics constraints, professionals in every corner of the supply chain are responsible for developing new protocols to increase both collaboration and visibility in order to mitigate the impact of future disruptions, be they environmental, geopolitical or macroeconomic. It’s time to take a hard look at traditional supply chain best practices and determine which should be kept, and which can be cast aside to move the industry forward. With broad participation from stakeholders across the industry, a true demand model will provide better information for companies throughout the supply chain to make better decisions.
CASE STUDY
“Supply chains have faced a myriad of risks over the past three years ranging from ongoing COVID disruption and unpredictable events to unbalanced global logistics. While many of these disruptions are often out of supply chain professionals’ hands, the industry is keen to identify which disruptions – or rather risks – can be controlled and mitigated before they can cause revenue loss, customer dissatisfaction, and more.”
