WEBINAR: Breaking Through the Chaos: Supply Chain Maturity in an Age of Economic Volatility

Supply chains today are at a crossroads, grappling with unprecedented levels of complexity brought on by economic volatility, shifting geopolitical landscapes, and rapidly changing customer demands. In this Supply Chain Now webinar, hosts Scott Luton and Karin Bursa will welcome Fred Baumann, Vice President of Industry Strategy at Kinaxis, along with Ryan Goodwin, Senior Director, Advanced Supply Chain at Trinity Industries, and Lizet Tymon, VP of Supply Chain with Rehlko, for a provocative discussion exploring how organizations at different stages of supply chain maturity are responding to these challenges and preparing for the future.

This session will go beyond traditional supply chain topics, diving into:

  1. The Supply Chain Maturity Curve: Insights into how organizations at varying levels of maturity—reactive, predictive, and prescriptive—are adapting their strategies to thrive in volatile conditions.
  2. Economic Resilience Through Innovation:How leading companies are leveraging cutting-edge technologies, data-driven insights, and unconventional strategies to turn uncertainty into opportunity.
  3. Shifting the Narrative: Lessons from the frontlines on breaking free from outdated paradigms to build supply chains that are not just resilient, but transformative.

Whether you’re looking to reimagine your approach to supply chain maturity, navigate the pressures of economic uncertainty, or gain inspiration from unconventional success stories, this session promises to challenge your thinking and provide actionable takeaways.

Join us for a bold conversation about what it really takes to achieve supply chain excellence in today’s unpredictable world.

Feeling the squeeze? How to Meet OTIF Targets in an Uncertain World

While many things have changed in the post-pandemic world, retailers are increasingly strict about on-time in-full (OTIF) service targets, pushing Consumer Packaged Goods (CPGs) to implement new supply chain practices. Chargebacks to CPG and Food & Beverage suppliers are rising, putting added pressure on profits and increasing the risk of lost sales. While the supply chain challenges CPGs face are relentless, it is possible to achieve high OTIF performance with better forecast planning, strong supplier collaboration, logistics visibility, and more. Don’t miss KPMG’s Ken Spigarelli and e2open’s Mike Hitmar as they explore tactics to quickly get OTIF on track and share strategic insights for long-term supply chain resiliency. Topics for discussion: · Industry insights into the biggest challenges for the next 12 months and how to best prepare and deal with uncertainty · Real examples of organizations using logistics visibility, historical insights, and automation to drive OTIF performance improvement · How to use OTIF as a driver for end-to-end supply chain efficiency and resiliency

Post COVID-19 Supply Chains: What is Needed to Adapt

After COVID-19, most companies will be cash poor, margin hungry, and riveted on boosting supply chain resilience. They say, “forewarned is forearmed,” but what specific actions should we take? Join Rod Sherkin, President of ProPurchaser, and Kelly Barner, Owner of Buyers Meeting Point, as they team up to share their insights on the challenges our profession will face and the solutions we can implement to thrive in a post COVID-19 world. Kelly will kick off this discussion by explaining how some of today’s “best practices” may no longer be best, e.g.: building just-in-time supply chains, supplier rationalization, and pursuing low prices. Rod will continue the presentation with practical advice to prepare you for what’s coming – how to keep the focus on cost containment while building resilience into your supply chain. He explains how to: · Make suppliers’ costs transparent. · Use this knowledge to negotiate competitive pricing and attract the best, most reliable suppliers. The goal of this webinar is to help supply chain professionals prepare for the future. You may be pleasantly surprised at how effective you can become at driving enterprise costs lower and your career prospects higher.
