Enjoyed the conversation at the Sedlak Supply Chain Consultants virtual event. We tackled a fan-favorite topic - AI. With so much hype, promise, irrational exuberance, and misunderstandings on the topic, it was refreshing to speak with Louis Cerny and Ryan Prahler about the realities of AI specifically within our supply chains.

This article dives into the Jabil 2024 Supply Chain Resilience Survey. They point out that 96% of the 200 supply chain decision makers interviewed stated that market intelligence is used to “navigate supply chain challenges”. It then goes a step further to highlight how organizations can better integrate technologies into their data driven strategies by focusing on three areas: visibility, optimization and sustainability. The common theme between these three areas is preparedness. Before deploying any technologies into an organization’s ecosystem a game plan must first be created. A question to ask is what is the end result of implementing this new technology? As stated in the article “… companies can start by assessing the capabilities of the technologies they already use and performing a gap analysis to determine what other technologies may need to be added”. Here are IMPACT Management Services we work with our client partners to help them understand their data and work with them to create strategic plans for the future. It has been stated in previous posts, but it is important to say it again here. While implementing new technologies into an organization can see big rewards for that company, unless they also simultaneously retrain, upskill or just train their employees they can potentially lose them. Employees in today’s market do not want to be left behind when it comes to the latest technologies. If an organization can reinvest in their existing employees their employee retention will go up and their overall costs of replacing employees will decrease. Reach out to us today to learn more about the market trends in your industry including what new skills sets employees are saying they want to learn. As always follow us to learn to get more industry insights. #Logistics #Manufacturing #Employeeretention #Optimization    https://lnkd.in/gVqZvBRA

A new report shows #SupplyChain leaders have more planning fatigue than last year, Brian Straight shares in Supply Chain Management Review Magazine. Many #SupplyChainOperations still rely on error-prone legacy tech that siloes data, so planning is unreliable and arduous. Brands that understand the benefits of #ScenarioPlanning — but don't want the hassle — should consider connected supply chain software that centralizes data and offers accurate, real-time visibility.

Modern inventory strategies grapple with the dichotomy between "just in time" and "just in case", particularly due to supply chain disruptions: https://lnkd.in/e-qarigS Companies are leaning towards a more conservative model to mitigate risks associated with supply chain obstacles, employing tactics such as making bulk purchases upfront to secure necessary inventory without compromising working capital​. While this approach may neutralize interruptions, it can also cause unintended consequences with regard to cash flow and business agility. Rather than “just in time” or “just in case”, Productiv aims for a “just right” approach to inventory management. With our advanced solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing operations, we help streamline processes from warehousing to real-time inventory tracking. By employing sophisticated data analytics and leveraging technology such as RFID systems and automated warehousing, Productiv offers companies the tools they need to maintain accurate stock levels, optimize warehouse space, and improve overall operational efficiency.

Inbound and outbound logistics are commonly viewed as independent processes, and often the logistics applications that power these processes operate in silos, e.g., TMS, WMS, YMS, Visibility. To break down these silos, start by better understanding the issues at heart. https://ow.ly/uV9C50Rg7pT #yardmanagement #logistics #supplychain #warehouses #transportationindustry #TMS #WMS #3PL #manufacturing
