Transforming Supply Chains to Make a Positive Impact on the World Around Us
The importance of supply chain has never been higher and senior leaders are realizing how critical supply chain performance is to their company success. Accordingly, decisions to invest in supply chain resiliency and agility are gaining visibility across c-suites and boards of directors. With that visibility comes the opportunity to break from forcing new ways of thinking into existing supply chain models and truly drive digital transformation. Global confectionery, food, and pet care products and services leader Mars knows this firsthand as its recent investments are addressing both the need for end-to-end supply chain transformation and making a positive impact on the world around us. To do so, Mars has partnered with Kinaxis for their specialized supply chain capabilities and simulation to gain agility and transparency in its supply chain. Join Will Beery, VP Global Transformations, Mars Digital Technologies, and Anne Robinson, Chief Strategy Officer at Kinaxis, along with hosts Scott Luton and Greg White with Supply Chain Now, in this wide-ranging discussion covering the need to balance vision and execution as supply chains transform, innovate and evolve in ways that make a positive impact on the world.
