In the next Partner Talks, Pieter and Rafael talk about how the rise of AI and additive manufacturing transform supply chains worldwide and give some insights in the endless possibilities.

I’m pleased to announce Curtis Ying, Mike Liebson, and I have just published an article, “Case Study: Optimizing Delivery Scheduling at a Large Restaurant Chain,” in the Fall issue of the Journal of Business Forecasting at https://lnkd.in/gGEKxHDm Full text available at: https://lnkd.in/gPR8H5xw The article introduces a new approach to distribution center (DC) delivery scheduling, a novel concept we call Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS). The article details how an iconic American $10B+ quick-service restaurant chain uses MPRS to reduce DC bottlenecks, increase receiving efficiency, and eliminate hundreds of hours of planning time. #supplychainplanning #inboundlogistics #qsr

Gentle reminder To this gentle reader The majority of excess inventory that I have seen in my 25+ years of Supply Chain work has come from new launches that did not perform as expected. Create flexibliity in the supply-- do not double down on the forecast lever. #NewProductLaunches #Operations #ExcessInventory #Inventory #NewProductIntroduction #DemandPlanning #CPGBrands How do you manage new launches inventory/forecast-wise?

Inventory shortages scmguide.com published this guide on how to address inventory shortages in Supply Chain. It would seem that this guide could come in handy considering the huge explosion of growth in warehousing and distribution. Keep in mind that for some of you this is just a reminder. While for others new to the field, it is a nice way to learn what others might take for granted.

Is your supply chain flexible enough to respond to disruptions? IDC's research finds, less than 20% of global supply chain leaders feel confident in their company's adaptability. John Sicard, President and CEO at Kinaxis, stresses the need for more resilient supply chains. #supplychain #disruption #resilience

Lora Cecere has been focused on driving improvements to supply chain for just about as long as I have - maybe even a tad longer! This has been the foundation of our relationship over those many years, and I always enjoy a good gab with her on this topic - an hour seems a minute. This one is a particular favourite for sure! If you are interested in the merits of outside-in thinking, have a listen and let us know what you think! #Kinaxis #supplychainplanning #supplychain

This upcoming episode I think will live up to the 'unfiltered' description, where we bring together thought leaders who challenge the status quo. Everyone talks about "Transformation" but leading one requires insight, courage and collaboration. If you've read Dr. Elouise Epstein's recent book "How to hack your supply chain" you'll know that she doesn't hold back and has some great stories to make a point. Supply chain and procurement leaders, get ready for a jolt of inspiration. Get this in your calendar if it isn't already!
