As the world moves forward into 2024, it's an opportune time for supply chain professionals to continue making even more positive marks on their organizations. A number of supply chain trends were discussed in this panel discussion featuring Mary Byrne, Vice President of Supply Chain at Cardinal Health, Liz Coddington, CFO of Peloton, Gus Shahin, CIO at Flex and Professor Morgan Swink from Texas Christian University cohosted by Kinaxis Board Member, Angel Mendez and Kinaxis Chief Strategy Officer Dr. Anne Robinson.Mendez shared his top 10 challenges supply chains faced in 2023: COVID-19 “hangovers”; a lackluster macroeconomy; persistent inflation; higher cost of debt with higher interest rates; an increasingly complex geopolitical environment; companies attempting to move their footprints away from Asia in a “deglobalization” trend; labor tensions in certain industries; climate effects; continued emphasis on sustainability and ESG; and a “technology renaissance resting on AI.” Byrne talked about how her organization's customers and partners are seeking more predictability in supply, while the supply chain itself must remain flexible. To create more resilient and responsive supply chains, conversations about technology and transformation will be important. [00:05:15]Sustainability can attract younger generations to supply chain careers, addressing a key need for 2024: strong talent. Swink says students are drawn to “changing people's lives for the better.” [00:28:37]Coddington believes AI presents great opportunities in 2024 Companies who figure out how to leverage their own team with machine learning/AI to improve processes, use automation in more efficient and effective ways and better forecast demand will have competitive advantages.In terms of advice, supply chain professionals can continue to bridge different strategies and collaborate with partners and other parts of the business, be agile “athletes” ready to respond to changes and new trends quickly. Of course, it's then critical that they communicate well at the ELT level to influence and educate. [00:44:59]For an in-depth discussion of these topics and several others, listen to our Big Ideas in Supply Chain podcast.To learn more about our guest panelists on this episode, follow them on LinkedIn:Mary ByrneLiz CoddingtonGus ShahinProfessor Morgan Swink

As supply chains continue to evolve in a post-pandemic landscape, many supply chain practitioners are wondering how to best stay on top of trends. In today's competitive environment, knowing how to deliver the right product the right way and being able to optimize data and analytics could make or break your organization. In this podcast, Mohan Sodhi, Professor of Operations & Supply Chain Management at the Bayes Business School at the City University of London, and Jayashankar Swaminathan, Professor of Operations at the University of North Carolina, join Angel Mendez, Board Member and Supply Chain Innovator, and Dr. Anne Robinson, Chief Strategy Officer at Kinaxis, to discuss how to bring innovation to the forefront of your organization so you can optimize supply chains for the future.Mohan says that the biggest opportunities in supply chain innovation depend entirely on how much change is required within your supply chain. If you're keeping your supply chain constant, then new innovations like AI or predictive learning technologies can be used to enhance it, making it more effective and efficient. However, some companies are being forced to shift their processes due to changing consumer habits. He uses music as an example to explain how products may stay the same, but the delivery method could change, highlighting how we went from tapes, to CDs, to MP3s and now streaming. [5:19]Keeping up with innovation isn't easy for chief supply chain officers that are focused on day-to-day executions. Jay explains that there are a lot of opportunities to explore and get started at universities, or even online learning courses like Coursera. He also recommends having a business case or pilot put in place to determine the value of embracing innovation by solving a real problem. Jay states, “if you want to be successful at innovation you need to try a lot of things. 75%-80% of attempts will fail but you shouldn't lose heart.” [17:01]Looking towards the future of supply chain innovation, Mohan says most of the students he teaches are interested in digital technology like AI, blockchain, and creating a start-up model. Jay says he's seen a significant shift with his students who were once interested in the global aspect of supply chain and are now looking closer at digitization and making the supply chain more responsive.

Host Ruben Navarrette interviews his friend, Angel Mendez, a member of several boards and former c-suite Silicon Valley tech executive about his unique upbringing as a Cuban raised in Puerto Rico, how corporate America sees Latinos, and the various opportunities that lie ahead for both.

AI has been a hot topic for supply chain leaders thanks to emerging trends like ChatGPT. With new opportunities on the horizon, C-suite executives are questioning what happens next and how AI will impact the supply chain. Kevin O'Marah, Co-Founder and Chief Research Officer at Zero 100, and Pascal Van Hentenryck, Professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Director of AI4OPT, join Angel Mendez, Board Member and Supply Chain Innovator, and Dr. Anne Robinson, Chief Strategy Officer at Kinaxis, to discuss groundbreaking AI methodologies and research tested insights in the latest Big Ideas in Supply Chain podcast. AI is creating a lot of new opportunities in the supply chain, allowing practitioners to address time constraints, plan, and solve problems faster. Pascal says a lot of these opportunities aren't yet possible, but AI will help us get there thanks to optimization and advanced learning systems. [3:15]Without good data, optimization and machine learning isn't possible. However, Kevin and Pascal agree that it may not be an obstacle to implementing AI. Kevin suggests starting with a problem rather than attempting to clean all the data you own to determine where your pain points are. Pascal suggests using data augmentation and forecasting tools to make assumptions. [14:07]Overregulation may cause regulatory barriers that could prevent progress in AI. Kevin states that it may not be something that can be properly enforced, while Pascal says that there are technologies that already exist for privacy management. He mentions that technology and policy issues need to merge.

Today's episode is a conversation with Peter Anderson, the Chief Supply Chain Office of WestRock, one of the largest paper and packaging companies globally. Our guest host is Angel Mendez, 30-year supply chain veteran, who sits on the Peloton board of directors and the Zero100 board. Together they discuss a strategic breakdown of how WestRock is making its supply chain more sustainable, applying digital technology, sharing more data, and rethinking supply chain education and leadership.

Impacted by constant supply chain disruption, one of the biggest challenges in the electronics industry is forecasting demand both upstream and downstream. Lynn Torrel, Chief Procurement and Supply Chain Officer at Flex, joins Angel Mendez, Board Member and Supply Chain Innovator, and Dr. Anne Robinson, Chief Strategy Officer at Kinaxis, to explore how to forecast demand more accurately by pairing contextualized data with external demand signals and applying a layer of analytics and AI to get actionable, real-world insights.Lynn talks about the balance of resiliency and cost in supply chain. She speaks to   different customers needing different solutions and how Flex is ready to support those decisions through global scale and scope. [6:24]Lynn also discusses the disconnect between supply and demand in a post-COVID world. While customer expectations have begun to shift, many suppliers continue to operate as they did throughout the pandemic. Lynn states that the old ways of forecasting demand aren't sufficient and that accurately and providing information to organizations about what constraints could happen in the future is a necessity.  [15:12]Lynn talks about the True Demand Coalition, which is a new group of 25 member companies working together to share access to better data (global market impacts, macroeconomics and other information) with the goal of improving demand forecasting accuracy to mitigate future supply chain disruptions.

One of the biggest challenges of any Supply Chain Officer is convincing CEOs to invest in resilience. As supply chain practitioners face ongoing disruption while trying to solve for transformation and short-term financial benefits, it's become clear that supply chains need to be more agile and responsive. In our latest video podcast, Mike Corbo, former Chief Supply Chain Officer at Colgate-Palmolive joins Angel Mendez, Board Member and Supply Chain Innovator, and Dr. Anne Robinson, Chief Strategy Officer at Kinaxis, to discuss lessons learned from leading during times of disruption, the value of investing in resilience, and how supply chain leaders can promote revenue growth. Mike saw a lot of changes during his 40 years at Colgate-Palmolive. One of his biggest challenges during his time as Chief Supply Chain Officer was the COVID-19 pandemic. Although COVID created drastic developments, Mike says the company survived this period of disruption thanks to the supply chain planning risk management playbook Colgate-Palmolive had developed a decade prior. Mike says the global supply chain organization had back-up supplies and multiple alternate suppliers they could pivot to while validating new sources in record time, to help them manage the immediate impacts of the pandemic. [8:27]To expedite planning processes during the pandemic, Colgate-Palmolive also made the choice to cut their hierarchy of decisions for efficiency, avoiding bottlenecks and reducing reaction time from 60-90 days to only 7-8 days. [10:00]During times of supply chain crisis, Angel says there are three key questions: what is the expected duration, how impactful is it, and how wide is it? Unfortunately, with COVID, these questions were unanswerable due to its global severity with no end date in sight. Because of this, approaching the boardroom about an investment in resilience raises the conversation to a very strategic level. Mike says the key is to balance cost efficiencies and resiliency, which can be done by building resilience into supply chain decisions. [16:14]

In this series debut, Anne and Angel share their thoughts about the supply chain renaissance and pandemic disruptions. Specifically, the lessons that we can learn from living through such a disruptive period and what supply chain practitioners can do to prepare for a tumultuous future.

He is joining Dr. Anne Robinson, Chief Strategy Officer at Kinaxis, as a guest host in a new series of our Big Ideas in Supply Chain video podcasts. Watch now as they discuss the importance of lessons learned from the pandemic, embracing disruption and creating innovation for the future.Summary pointsAs part of the new Big Ideas in Supply Chain podcast series, Angel Mendez is joining Dr. Anne Robinson as a new cohost. Angel is a supply chain expert, transformational leader and visionary with nearly 40 years of experience. Angel is passionate about bringing big ideas forward and sharing his expertise.The COVID pandemic created significant disruption in supply chain, which continues to be felt today. Angel believes that there are a lot of valuable lessons that supply chains can take away from managing mass disruption, and it's important to collect and codify what was learned during this time to prepare for an uncertain future. [1:20]Many supply chain practitioners are wondering what can be done to ensure the effects of disruption aren't felt to this level of magnitude again. Angel argues that this is an unfair question due to the current unstable environmental and economic landscape. [3:20]It's important to take advantage of the crisis and disruption we faced so we can become stronger and benefit from it at the end of the day – so how do we embrace it? Angel suggests that one solution is for the vendor community and practitioner community to come together to figure out how to harness change, and digital transformation can assist with this collaboration. Another suggestion is to continue accelerating innovation because we need more agile and adaptable solutions for an uncertain future. [8:00]Angel states that a supply chain renaissance began in the early 2010s thanks to the explosion of cloud services and the ability to be API driven, which spurred a period of innovation. [8:00] He mentions that the pandemic forced this innovation to pause, but now, to counter the effects of this disruption, innovation has started to accelerate once again to make sure we're prepared for a tumultuous future. Anne and Angel believe that a great way for organizations to encourage this is to create a formal innovation team.

For the next few episodes of “What Is American Food?” we'll be turning our attention from the southwest to the northeast.  https://redtomato.org/ (Red Tomato) is an innovative non-profit food hub based in Providence, Rhode Island. For 25 years they've been partnering with small to mid-sized farms to help with marketing, logistics, and distribution. We'll hear Red Tomato's origin story from Michael Rozyne, Angel Mendez, and Sue Futrell. Plus, 8th-generation orchardist John Lyman gives us practical examples of how Red Tomato helps his farm partner with others to make sure everyone succeeds in the market. But Red Tomato's story is not all sunshine and rainbows-- they almost lost everything in 2002, when a crucial piece of funding dried up. Their response ended up changing the entire way the organization functions, making it more resilient than ever. As the American food system recovers from the past year of disruption, we can all look to Red Tomato for an example of building trust and committing to sustainability and transparency, while honoring the dignity of all the people who provide our food. We'll be making more episodes about Red Tomato, so be sure to subscribe in your favorite podcast app to be alerted whenever new content drops.
