The need for a robust supply chain...I'm seeing it more and more where Commercial and Supply Chain are just not in sync. 📈 Commercial leaders are being tasked with selling more, increasing turnover etc, but can't because of a weak supply chain and often, not being able to deliver on the volumes they are currently selling, yet alone increasing those accounts. Supply chain leaders are getting frustrated because often the strength of the end to end supply chain isn't as strong as is perceived internally and they are already struggling to deliver on the current volumes. 🚚 The need for Commercial, Supply Chain and Finance to have strong internal communication and have a holistic mentality is critical in tackling these issues... #commercial #supplychain #FMCG #internalcommunication

Right-sizing supply chain operations is a common growth strategy for F&B companies. But it's not as simple as shutting down a few plants. Campbell Soup, PepsiCo, Conagra and others are “closing some facilities and opening or expanding existing plants to right-size production and improve efficiencies.” These moves — often involving changes in suppliers and service providers — require you to understand and analyze your supplier, carrier, and facility networks so that your revamped supply chain can operate at the "right size" with no slip in performance or preventable bottlenecks. Regardless of how big or small a change you’re making to your supply chain network, ask yourself these three questions: Can I measure the right KPIs? Do I have the factual execution and performance insights to ensure that true data-driven decisions are made that align with the "right size" strategy and prevent performance drops? How should my network — including my people and processes — adapt? Can we rapidly adjust, ensuring that vital operations teams can continue to analyze, execute and service the business? How will we support leaner operations? Do we have granular visibility that allows us to combat cost and margin leakage by managing our flow of goods from orders to inventories to shipments? These considerations ensure that your right-sizing efforts lead to long-term success. Remember, it's not just about cutting costs; it's about investing in the future of your supply chain. #supplychain

When things go wrong, it’s the first to be blamed." — John Gattorna, supply chain thought leader This quote highlights the challenging reality faced by supply chain professionals, where their efforts often go unnoticed unless there is a disruption, underscoring the critical but underappreciated role they play. #SupplyChain #ThanklessJob #Logistics #UnsungHeroes #SupplyChainManagement #JohnGattorna
