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. We will explore how optimization, AI, and modern decision-support technology are reducing time to value and helping teams deliver measurable impact across network, inventory, transportation, and capacity decisions. 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.

Every warehouse operation has a workforce plan. The question is how resilient it is when conditions change. On any given day, volumes may shift. Customer priorities change. Demand profiles evolve. In a complex operating environment, variability isn’t unusual: it’s embedded in the operating model. And when labor productivity underpins service commitments, cost performance, and overall financial outcomes, even modest deviations between plan and reality can carry meaningful impact. How do leading operations teams close the gap between strategy and real-world execution? In this executive-level fireside chat, Brandon Wibben, VP of Workforce Planning + Productivity at GEODIS, joins Karl Koehler, COO of Easy Metrics, to discuss how high-performing operations teams manage productivity, performance, and profitability in complex, high-variability environments.

The conversation will look at the persistent planning-versus-reality gap that defines high-volume operations – and how leaders can close it. Attendees will gain practical insights on how to: – Strengthen the connection between workforce planning and daily operational performance – Optimize productivity across sites, processes, and shifts with greater precision and accountability – Preserve…
