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

The world is becoming more software-driven and while it’s helping accelerate innovation, it’s also increasing risk. Service providers, equipment manufacturers and the various suppliers in the information communications technology (ICT) industry are seeing a sharp rise in breaches and attacks through the infiltration of downstream suppliers of software as well as hardware, and professional services. However, a new process-based standard, SCS 9001, is in development by the members of TIA with the goal of helping businesses lock these attackers out. Due for release later in 2021, this new process-based standard is poised help companies and better protect their internal operations and identify verified trusted suppliers (and their suppliers’ suppliers) for network solutions. By certifying their internal operations and verifying trusted suppliers and products and services, life will soon be much harder and success far more expensive for the suspected nation-states and crime syndicates behind these devastating attacks. In addition, the standard will include a collection of security performance measurements for aggregation of anonymous benchmark results to help drive continual industry improvement. Join us as we discuss why this new industry standard is especially critical for new 5G and IoT networks that are aiming to connect everything from our coffee makers…
