WEBINAR: Beyond Resilience: Capitalizing on Supply Chain Uncertainty

The only thing certain in life is that nothing is certain.” So said Roman philosopher Pliny the Elder nearly 2,000 years ago. For supply chain professionals this quote definitely rings true today. Unpredictable shifts in demand and disruptions to supply are becoming more frequent and more severe. Over the last few years, much of our focus has been on building resilient supply chains to prepare for the inevitable, unforeseen challenges ahead. However, some industry leaders are striving to go beyond resiliency to actually take advantage of future disruptions. They see the upside of supply chain uncertainty as an opportunity to capture share from slower competitors.

In this Supply Chain Now webinar, hosts Scott Luton and Kim Reuter welcome special guests John DeSarbo and Bharathi Shankar from ZS to explore how industry leaders are capitalizing on uncertainty by building agility into their operations, rethinking traditional approaches to supply chain management, and utilizing AI and advanced analytics to uncover opportunities to capitalize on changing market dynamics.

During the Covid Crisis, Dr. Schär faced considerable demand and supply variability. The supply chain team at Dr. Schär was able to thrive in the midst of this uncertainty thanks in part to the digital supply chain transformation that had just been completed.

With the redesign of the Supply Chain Planning process Dr. Schaer was able to increase order fill rates by 1.5%, improve forecast accuracy by 3%, and enhance freshness upon shipment by 1.8%. Despite a larger product mix, heightened variability, and increased volumes, Dr. Schär has managed to optimize their inventory performance.
