WEBINAR: The Expanding Role of Supply Chain Optimization Teams in Driving Business Impact

Supply chain optimization teams are moving beyond one-off business requests and occasional network design studies. As supply chains become more dynamic, leading teams are supporting broader decision-making, becoming proactive decision partners, and helping businesses unlock greater value, faster.

In this webinar, hosts Scott Luton and Jake Barr with Supply Chain Now will welcome Mohit Dobhal with Decision Spot and Craig Frankland with Fresenius Medical Care, a global healthcare leader, to discuss how they lead strategy using Foresta® supply chain design and optimization.

Key Takeaways:

1. How optimization teams are moving from reactive analysis to proactive decision support

2. How AI and optimization are reducing time to value from months to weeks — or even days

3. Where supply chain optimization teams are creating measurable business impact and leading strategy

4. Real-world ROI examples from recent supply chain optimization initiatives
