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

Tackling Manufacturing’s Billion-Dollar Parts Problem with AI

Organizations face constant challenges in optimizing their MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) data. With vast amounts of capital invested across assets and sites, managing the risk of downtime becomes a crucial, yet often a neglected task. Optimization becomes impossible when trying to make sense of MRO/spare parts data, tangled in a web of fragmented teams, processes, and technology. And attempting to solve these problems with traditional approaches like data cleanses only results in sub-optimized inventory, temporarily clean data, and reactive maintenance strategies – which are not only costly but also a huge headache for procurement and operations teams. Join us as we explore how AI technologies remove data prerequisites, streamline MRO inventory data management, and unlock significant value for your end-to-end MRO inventory and material supply chain, with your data as is. In this session, we’ll discuss how to: Leverage data-driven insights by enhancing outdated processes and systems with purpose-built AI technologies Find million dollars savings hiding in your MRO, while also improving demand forecasting, streamlining tail spend, and enhancing criticality assessments Improve cross-department collaboration between maintenance, operations, and procurement teams to ensure a unified MRO management approach Boost operational efficiency to optimize criticality assessments, inventory management, minimize downtime, and…

Adapt or Die: Your Survival Guide to Modern Warehouse Automation

If you sell physical products, warehousing and shipping costs can make or break your business. But most companies treat order fulfillment as an afterthought, running toward a future in which they won’t be able to compete with marketplace giants. Scott Luton with Supply Chain Now will sit down with Jeremy Bodenhamer, CEO of ShipHawk, the leading provider of advanced fulfillment software with expert guidance to help businesses scale. They’ll discuss the need to adapt to today’s ever-changing supply chain or face extinction, including case studies in which one wrong move in something as simple as packaging can send a company into the red. But there is a better way. By embracing end-to-end automation, companies can ensure that every item is warehoused effectively and shipped quickly, in the best package, at the best rate that meets customer expectations, restoring critical savings to your bottom line. And you don’t have to be Amazon to do this.
