Despite years of disruption and volatility in the global supply chain, most organizations are still operating in a reactive mode—responding to issues rather than proactively shaping outcomes. In a recent episode of the Professionals of the Inland Empire podcast hosted by John Tulac, Lisa Anderson discussed why this gap persists and, more importantly, what separates companies that are gaining traction from those continuing to struggle. We discuss the war in the Gulf, what companies should be doing to stay ahead of the situation, and how to prepare their supply chains for what’s to come.
Since you are only as strong as your weakest link in your supply chain, you must take a proactive approach to ensure readiness and success. From the impacts on energy markets and what that means to supply chains to how clients can align demand with supply using processes like SIOP (Sales Inventory and Operations Planning) to utilizing advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, GPS and geofencing to gain visibility into your end-to-end supply chain, Lisa and John provide practical insights and brainstorm what if scenarios for supply chain success.
