"Rethinking Supply Chain" - Book Conference - June 5th - Vlerick Brussels Case 2 - The impressive supply chain planning transformation at Reckitt Alberto Lupano will introduce us to the impressive supply chain planning transformation at Reckitt. How the business case is centered around the supply chain triangle and how it serves strategic objectives like being more resilient and more agile. How a transformation is impacting tooling, processes and organization. I will briefly introduce a vision on a next-level for integrated planning, an S&OP or IBP 2.0. How to integrate financial planning and supply chain planning into 1 FSCP. How to connect marketing planning and sales planning into this base. How we should connect key customers and suppliers and how to integrate social and environmental metrics into our planning trade-offs and decision making. As the chairman Frank Vorrath will drive an interactive discussion on where we are, where to go, and how to get there. Let's learn from each other! Want to know more?

🚀 The supply chain landscape has undergone a profound digital transformation in recent years, yet hidden costs persist. 🔎 These concealed expenses demand a closer look. ERP, WMS, and TMS excel in managing the processes within the 4 walls of a company. However, they lack the critical capability to collaborate digitally with external supply chain partners, driving the need for alternative solutions. 📄 In the following white paper, we are focusing on the hidden costs in your supply chain linked to the fact that the interface between you and your external supply chain stakeholders (suppliers, carriers, customers) is today not or only partially digitalized. 💰Streamliner can assist in reducing these hidden costs by 8€ per order, presenting significant savings! 👉 Read our White Paper via the link below https://lnkd.in/ewngVPtB #streamliner #digital #supplychainmanagement

Its Time now for Establishing a Cradle-to-Cradle (C2C) Supply Chain The cradle-to-cradle supply chain is a relatively new idea that builds upon the circular business model. The use of this model in our Supply chain operations will make an entire network more sustainable while improving resource use and cutting costs. Luckily, there are many simple ways companies can develop a cradle-to-cradle approach and take advantage of these benefits. Procurement practitioners can initiate their cradle-to-cradle strategy by i. Choose recyclable resources: Procurement practitioners should always opt for recyclable materials over non-recyclable ones. This point can be illustrated by comparing wood and plastic pallets. Typically, wood pallets must follow a cradle-to-grave approach because they must be transformed into mulch or discarded in a landfill at the end of their useful life. Plastic pallets, on the other hand, can be ground down and reformed into brand new shipping platforms, allowing recycled materials to revitalize the warehouse ecosystem indefinitely—the very definition of cradle-to-cradle.  ii. opt to lease when possible: Leasing a resource facilitates a cradle-to-cradle supply chain. Take the plastic pallet leasing example from above. By working with a company that offers plastic pallet pooling, managers place the responsibility of recycling those pallets onto a third party. iii. Carefully vet vendors and partners: Procurement practitioners should ask questions on sustainability and recycling during the vendor sourcing process. RFP should have evaluation matrix with criteria for ESE/ESG. By implementing these strategies, Procurement practitioners can lower their total-cost-of-business (TCOB) while cultivating a sustainable business ecosystem.  #C2C #ProcurementSustanability #GreenProcurement

What a huge difference. I experienced such a big difference with giving workshops in the past 4 days. I think that the environment also has a big impact on people. This green environment on the picture is stimulating, positive, good for people. A closed, windowless room does the opposite to people. Did you experience that too? #teambuilding #workshop #training #coaching #leadership 😀

"We already see solutions where AI is applied at two levels at once, where procurement teams use AI for the own benefit and extend their AI enabler to their suppliers, accelerating the transformation to more efficiency across the supply chain" Laurent Pirard The digitalisation of the supplier experience and supply chain is happening faster with this generation of solutions... often driven by suppliers rather than customers. #digitalleaders #digitalprocurement #cpo #ProcureTech #procurement

Discussing common challenges and exchanging best practices among industry leaders was the primary goal of the 2024 OMP 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹. 👇 Check out this blog post from my colleague Robbert De Looff, where he dives into the key insights from the event. #chemicals #supplychain #digitaltransformation

Being fragile as a company will break your supply chain as soon as an event will occur. Being agile is a next step, but is that good enough in these turbulent times? Or do you need to step up in your supply chain and become resilient? Being able to bounce back from events quickly and resume your normal state, that is what current supply chains need! #resilient #planadigm #supplychain #businessplanning #events #disorder #planning #opportunity

“Innovate or die.” That was the overall theme of the seventh of the inNOWvate Supply Chain Event, in movie theatre complex in Amsterdam on 22nd May 2024. As moderator of the day, I advised that companies should pick their battles and choose a path to either Peak Planning, Sustainable Summit or Mount Visibility. The well-known futurologist Magnus Lindkvist asked the audience: “Do you want to compete or create?” Companies need to look elsewhere, seek creative friction and look for caterpillar ideas. Ideas that can transform into butterflies. Carsten Rasmussen, COO of the LEGO Group, shared his company’s journey to create more resilience in their strong growth with a lot of new product introductions. David Schwartz, VP Global Tech Venturing & Innovation at PepsiCo, came over to Europe to explain their structural approach to collaborate with supply chain start-ups. Carlos Cordon, Professor at IMD Business School, discussed this on stage with the two executives. Pierre Mille, until very recently Head of Global Supply Chain at Versuni, presented all the effort for circularity of products and supply chains. Wilko Sierksma, Director Global Planning at The HEINEKEN Company, told the audience how the global brewery is able to decentralize decision making by centralizing their planning platforms. Carlos Cordon had a insightful conversation with these executives. I wrapped up the event with the advice to visualize the complete ecosystem with all the stakeholders and different flows. With this ecosystem visualization it’s easier for companies to predict disruptions, detect bottlenecks and find synergies. For supply chain innovation and business survival that is crucial.

⭐ Procurement professionals... ⭐ .... have the power to influence buying decisions. Through shifting its approach towards a more responsible, resilient and potentially regenerative economy, Procurement can act as a catalyst for systemic innovation and thinking that would serve the health of ecosystems globally and locally. Many firms experience a dilemma between balancing sustainability, or if ambitious, regenerative goals, while meeting cost-optimization targets. In contributing to a regenerative economy, procurement has the possibility to incentivize spending that delivers on three needs: Generating net-zero GHG emissions globally, which may entail net-sequestering in some sectors for decades to come; restoring ecosystems, aiming at net-increases in biodiversity for several key biomes, and providing inclusive, safe and fair livelihoods for all. In this article, we will explore how a systemic lens could potentially reshape Procurement and continue to keep Procurement at the cutting edge when it comes to enabling transformative change.
