The Supply Chain Now team was pleased to continue our “Stand Up & Sound Off” series, where we facilitate the sometimes difficult conversations that must be had in order for things to change. One other driving factor in this particular series is to create a global forum where our audience can actively participate & share their thoughts, insights & perspective. On July 15th, we were pleased to feature several guest panelists that shared their insights and perspective on some of the challenges that we face, both here in the U.S. and across the international community. As we all approach these challenges from different angles & from different levels of understanding, and as we work to solve these problems together – – it’s important to continue the dialogue and gain insights from others. Our primary objective with this event is to do just that: serve as facilitators for helpful dialogue and discourse.

Radical changes are being made across supplier bases as companies move to a more regionalized supplier base with less reliance on offshore production. Global transportation delays continue to create shipping issues and spikes in demand continue to further stress corporate supply chains. It’s more important than ever for organizations to maximize effective planning strategies and build out their supply chain planning capability. But how do you involve Finance in your supply chain planning? What other departments should be involved in creating supply chain plans? And what tools are most effective for rapidly building a more robust and collaborative planning process across your organization?
