A recent report by Kinaxis shows that only 17% of global supply chain leaders believe their companies are amply prepared to mitigate disruptions. That's a strikingly low number. There are multiple strategies for enhancing supply chain resilience, and it's really up to each individual company and what works best for them. Options such as diversifying supply chains, focusing on supplier communications, or considering localization or near-shoring initiatives are good places to start. However, when trying to manage volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA), it's also important to rethink one's approach to managing supply chains. Constantly reflecting and improving is key to narrowing the performance gap that we're seeing really take a hold on supply chain success. #SupplyChains #SupplyChainManagement #SupplyChainDisruption

This FreightWaves article provides an insightful overview of the evolving brokerage landscape over the past decade. While the article focuses on CH Robinson's market share decline, it sheds light on valuable trends in the industry. As the article suggests, technology has made it easier for anyone with industry knowledge to set up a brokerage company. This poses a real threat to larger players in the industry. To differentiate themselves, brokers must offer value-added services to clients such as network and route optimization, and form partnerships to leverage their expertise in addressing shippers' pain points. Successful brokers will also offer free-to-use TMS systems that rival paid solutions. At TW Metals LLC, we understand the importance of our partners offering significant value to our customers and improving our performance. We look forward to working with brokers who share our commitment to providing exceptional service and innovative solutions.

Aero-Space is approaching the one-year anniversary of our partnership with ShelfAware LLC, converting one of our premier customer inventory programs into our first "Intelligent VMI" program. This international program (ShelfAware's first) was a tremendous challenge to manage on a legacy VMI platform. The benefits have been immediate, impactful, and exciting. In almost 12 months Aero-Space has created over 7,000 RFID labels for this one customer. The only responsibilities for our customers? Ensure that their operations staff understands "pick, swipe, go." You cannot double or triple scan product out - win. Swipe data is available on the ShelfAware platform instantly - win. There is no need to teach customer operators how to use 3rd party IT equipment (tablets, computers, scanners, etc.) - win. Written SOPs do not need to be posted where errors in the barcode scanning order of operations introduce inaccurate data for customers and suppliers - win. ShelfAware's user experience is easy to learn, and the analytics packages are insightful and fast - win. There are no issues with a two-bin Kanban system being misinterpreted or incorrectly accounted for - win. Inventory audits are now a breeze. Instead of having to manually manipulate up to 1,300 packages of heavy, bulky fasteners, finding (and hoping) that the 2D barcode labels are still scannable, using the RFID sled gun in tandem with the ShelfAware app frees up time for value-added activities while visiting customers. Most legacy audit systems require multiple scans per package - I saved at least 5,200 barcode trigger squeezes. Think about that. 5,200 opportunities for error. Aero-Space is an industry leader in customer inventory programs. I am proud to continue working with our sales team to find the right opportunities to help our customers solve their complex inventory management problems by offering this truly game-changing system. I wish the companies I purchase from made inventory management so simple!

As we start the week, here’s a chuckle for those who do attempt to work on planes. I get some of my best, most focused work done on planes but laughed out loud at this article several times. Many of us have joined the palm trees of Orlando this week for the Gartner supply chain symposium which means this article may be very timely… If you’re here, give me a shout. And if you’ve ever tired to work on a plane, what are your tips to making it work?? How not to work on a plane https://lnkd.in/eA9AnJQr from The Economist

🚚 Choosing the Right Logistics Partner: What Really Matters🌟 When it comes to selecting a logistics partner, size isn't everything! 🚫📏 Here’s what you should focus on instead: 1️⃣ Value Your Goods and Time: Find a partner who understands the importance of your products and respects your timelines. ⏰ 2️⃣ Customer Care: Choose someone who treats your customers as their own. This ensures that your end consumers are always happy and satisfied. 😊 3️⃣ Timely and Safe Delivery: The goal is to have your products delivered safely and on time. Whether it’s by land, sea, or air, what truly matters is the condition and timing of the delivery. 🚀📦 Remember, at the end of the day, it’s not about how your products got there, but that they arrived safely and promptly. Make sure you choose wisely! ✅ #Logistics #CustomerFirst #SupplyChainExcellence #ChooseWisely #SafeDelivery #OnTimeDelivery

Engineering Dreams into Reality In anticipation of International Women in Engineering Day, I polled some of my female supply chain colleagues about why they chose engineering as a profession. While their reasons varied, there was one common thread: they all were curious and loved to solve problems, and several exhibited telling character traits when they were children. ·      Monica Guyer (Corinth engineer) wanted to be an inventor and made “blueprints” for an automated dog carwash, a desk that dropped from the ceiling, even a plexiglass robot (which she actually tried to build!). As an adult, she thinks it’s fascinating to see how we’ve learned to use math to make things move or rotate or mix together to create something new. ·      GNW Director Matrice Jackson was compelled to explore, disassemble, and understand the mechanics behind everyday things – from radios to toys to lawnmowers. ·      Value stream leader Chucky Conrad remembers being painstakingly precise and efficient, lining up green beans to trim them, using a peeler versus a knife to peel an apple, and building forts using lighter blankets on top and weights to hold them in place. ·      For Raffaela de Medici (Sr. director, Manufacturing), it was her passion for chemistry and love of technical and scientific subjects that drew her to engineering. She soon realized how differently men and women approach their studies and the insights she gained from studying together. ·      Christine Cowell (GNW VP) was a natural problem solver and loved math and science; after learning about engineering through a Women in Engineering program at Michigan Tech, she was hooked (and became the first in her family to attend college). As an engineer myself with the same curiosity of how things work, it's gratifying to see how someone’s childhood traits can turn into a meaningful career that brings unique solutions to complex challenges. It’s a testament to the power of nurturing young girls’ aspirations in STEM. Cheers to our women engineers, and let’s keep sharing our stories! Together, we can engineer a world of endless possibilities by inspiring the next generation of women engineers.

Great turnout today for the session that Mark Morley, MBA and I presented at the Gartner Supply Chain Symposium. There is so much happening in the world of supply technology, and it is changing so quickly, that you need to have a transformation roadmap. But no matter which technologies you choose from the buffet, you still need to have good data and good connectivity to make use of it. Many thanks to Mark and the team at OpenText for inviting me to join them! ~Mr. Supply Chain #AlwaysBeLearning #SupplyChain
