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

$2.5B in 72 Hours: What Agentic AI Looks Like When It Actually Works

95% of enterprise agentic AI pilots never deliver ROI (MIT, 2025). The gap isn’t ambition — it’s the jump from a model that works in a sandbox to an agent trusted to act on the plant floor, inside the systems your team already runs on. This session, with host Scott Luton and featured guests Vika Smilansky and Marc Amarillas with DataRobot, breaks down what that jump actually takes, and what it looks like solved, with agents orchestrated across the value chain, not in isolated silos: – Supply chain: multi-tier supplier risk and tariff exposure caught before a single-source failure becomes a line-down event – Plant operations: bottlenecks and downtime caught before they hit the shift report – Aftermarket: warranty leakage and reactive dispatch turned back into retained margin We’ll ground our conversation in real use cases, including a tariff signal that put $2.5B in revenue at risk, resolved in 72 hours instead of weeks, with a human signing off at every step. Not a pilot. Not a dashboard. A production-grade agent workforce — connecting planning, operations, and service to move manufacturers from reactive to proactive.
