Building AI-Ready Operations in Advanced Manufacturing

Operating conditions in advanced manufacturing are changing fast as organizations push to modernize operations while navigating quality requirements, long lead times, and increasingly complex supply chains. As leaders look to apply AI across the physical world, many discover that technology alone is not enough. Success depends on strong operating fundamentals, clean master data, and a culture that aligns teams around execution, accountability, and continuous improvement. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton is joined by special guest host Wiley Jones to kick off a new 2026 series, Enterprise Unleashed, powered by the DOSS team. Together, they sit down with Garuth Acharya, investor at 8090 Industries and former operator with experience across GE, SpaceX, and Blue Origin, to explore what it really takes to build AI ready operations in advanced manufacturing. The conversation examines why AI initiatives often fail in industrial environments when data hygiene is weak, and why clean, correct, actionable data and disciplined master data practices are foundational to any successful transformation. The discussion also emphasizes practical ways AI can unlock value, from accelerating work instructions to improving shortage detection, surfacing procurement anomalies, and strengthening quality feedback loops. The panel returns to the human side of transformation:…

Building the Foundation for Agentic AI in the Modern Supply Chain

In this Agentic Age, Supply chain leaders are racing to adopt AI—but isolated solutions and disconnected systems often limit real impact. The true promise of AI emerges only when we reimagine the supply chain as a fully connected enterprise, breaking down decades-old silos across planning, logistics, materials, finance, and sustainability. In this session, Manik Sharma, Head of Supply Chain GTM AI at Celonis—magic quadrant leader, recognized globally and ranked #3 on the Fortune 50 Most Promising Companies list—will unpack how a modern AI-enabled tech stack can unify fragmented data, systems, and processes through a connected semantic layer that digitizes the physical value chain. Once established, this semantic layer becomes a dynamic foundation for intelligent, data-driven operations by infusing it with enterprise context—from rules, constraints, and parameters to policies and proven models—unlocking true end-to-end enterprise intelligence. This intelligence can then be democratized across the organization to power self-serve analytics, build composable AI solutions, and orchestrate workflows, collaboration, agents, and actions at scale. We’ll explore how companies are using this approach to unlock self-serve analytics, accelerate development of composable AI applications, and orchestrate autonomous workflows and agents at scale. This is not a future vision but a proven path for organizations that…

2026 Procurement Priorities: What’s Changing (and What You Need to Do First)

Procurement teams already shoulder immense pressure to deliver margin, resilience, and stronger supplier partnerships — and 2026 is only going to heighten those expectations. Fortunately, teams already have a powerful, often under-looked resource at their disposal: rebates. In this webinar, Supply Chain Now hosts Scott Luton and Marty Parker welcome rebate and procurement experts Mark Gilham from Enable and Keith Wright from K. Wright Consultancy to help you understand how rebates, incentive programs, and joint business planning can create alignment, unlock hidden value, and make your supplier relationships far more strategic. They will reveal what most procurement teams don’t know about rebates, the full spectrum of incentive programs available, and how these programs can transform suppliers and buyers into a unified go-to-market force. Join us to learn how organizations are leveraging AI to overcome traditional rebate management barriers, empowering suppliers to offer richer incentives — and giving procurement unprecedented visibility to ensure no money is left on the table.

Solving Warehouse Execution Gaps in the SMB Market

Warehouse operations often highlight the gap between business strategy and execution, particularly as small and mid-sized companies grow. Challenges like fulfillment pressure, inventory inaccuracies, and manual workarounds can turn warehouses into bottlenecks that hinder organizational efficiency.

Remade in America

Every year, Americans return nearly a trillion dollars’ worth of products. But once those items leave our hands, most of us never think about where they go—or what happens next. In Remade in America, hosted by Deborah Dull, Supply Chain Now takes listeners inside the little-known world of reverse logistics, where returned products are sorted, resold, recycled, repaired, or too often, discarded.

A new perspective on why waiting for the “perfect” structure or rollout could be holding you back. Insight into how human-centered approaches—investing in people, planning, and end-to-end optimization—deliver the sharpest competitive edge.
