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.

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

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

5. What enables optimization teams to scale their impact

Cleared for Takeoff: Workforce Development in the Aviation Industry

The talent pipeline remains critical—and more challenging than ever—across global supply chains. In manufacturing alone, the U.S. will need 3.8M workers by 2033, while global data points to 10M unfilled jobs today. Join hosts Scott W. Luton and Allison Giddens and special guests Dr. Becky Lutte with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Suzanne Markle with the Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics, and Ryan Goertzen with AAR for a focused conversation on workforce development in aviation—a $3.5T global industry. We’ll explore proven strategies for expanding the talent pool, creating more inclusive opportunities, and addressing urgent hiring needs. Women currently represent less than 20% of aviation roles and just 3% of maintenance techs. How can we change that—and what can other sectors learn from these efforts? Walk away with practical insights to fuel workforce development in any industry.
