In dieser Folge des BVL Podcasts spricht unser Host Boris Felgendreher mit Robert Recknagel von Blue Yonder über typische Herausforderungen in der Logistik und Supply Chain und diskutiert Lösungsansätze. Unter anderem geht es dabei im folgende Themen: - Black-Swan“-Schocks & neue Supply-Chain-Realität: Corona, blockierte Seewege, geopolitische Krisen: Unternehmen erkennen, dass End-to-End-Transparenz und durchgängige Planung (strategisch → taktisch → operativ) unverzichtbar werden. ​ - Zölle, Handelskriege & Umgang mit Komplexität: Beispiel Automobil: Teile, die mehrfach Grenzen überqueren; Near-/Reshoring allein reicht nicht – entscheidend ist ein höherer Reifegrad im Risiko- & Netzwerkmanagement. ​ - Inbound-Lücke & Plattform-Ansatz: Outbound-Prozesse sind meist digitalisiert, Inbound dagegen oft blind. Blue Yonder kaufte One Network, um Lieferanten, Spediteure und Produktionsabrufe in einem kollaborativen Control-Tower zu verknüpfen. ​ - Vom „Ampel-Board“ zu echten Aktionen: Reine Visibility verursacht Kosten ohne Nutzen; erst die Kopplung mit Planung, KI-Vorhersagen und automatisierten Workflows erzeugt „Actionable Insights“. ​ - Mensch + KI statt Voll-Autopilot. Schrittweiser Automationsgrad: Bots und Predictive Traffic unterstützen – aber erfahrene Disponenten bleiben unverzichtbar, besonders in Ausnahmesituationen. ​ - Business-Value eines Planungstools: Beispiel Nahverkehrs-Spedition: nicht nur 10–15 % Kosteneinsparung, sondern attraktivere Arbeitszeiten und mehr Fokus auf Ausnahme-Management. ​ - Effizienz ↔ Sustainability: Taktische Transportoptimierung (9–10 % weniger Kilometer), multimodale Küchen-Distribution (-26 % CO₂) und gemischte E-/Diesel-Flotten zeigen, dass Prozess- und Klimaziele sich ergänzen. ​ - Zukunft des Flottenmanagements: Strategisches → operatives Flotten-Sizing, Lade-Constraints für E-LKW. - Customer-Centric Supply Chains: Trend zu individualisierten Premium-Produkten (z. B. gravierte Haushaltsgeräte) verlangt dynamische Planung, geringere Bestände und verlässliche Liefertermine in Tagen statt Wochen. ​ - On-Demand-Modelle à la Temu: Kleinlos-Tests, Produktion erst bei echter Nachfrage → weniger Überproduktion, aber neue Regeln und Wettbewerbsdruck für etablierte Marken. ​ - Und vieles mehr Hilfreiche Links: BVL Webinar zum Thema: "Revolution im Betrieb eigener Fuhrparks: Die ultimative End-to-End-Lösung für Flottenplanung und -steuerung." 14.

Beverly Steele talks about her journey, making a big change mid-career; what it means to be a workforce innovator; and her take on work-life balance. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [04.29] An introduction to Beverly and her role at Inmar. [05.11] Beverly's career journey, and her decades of varied experience. “I've been in reverse logistics well over 20 years. I actually stopped saying how long because I realized I'd been in it longer than some of my colleagues have been alive!” [07.15] Beverly's 20-year tenure at CORT, and an overview of the roles she took on as she climbed the ranks. [08.07] Inmar's joint venture with Blue Yonder to create a returns drop network that reduces costs for brands and makes life easy for consumers. [09.46] Why Beverly made a big change mid-career, what she was looking for in her next step, and her advice for other mid-career professionals considering making a change. “I'd moved up in the ranks and there weren't many places for me to go to make the money I wanted to make and have the challenges that I wanted… It was scary, but sometimes I think: why didn't I leave sooner?!'” [12.33] From sales to reverse logistics technology – why Beverly transitioned to a different space in the industry, and the benefits of pivoting. [14.41] Beverly's Woman in Supply Chain Forum award, what being a ‘workforce innovator' means to her, and the importance of increasing support and success for work from home teams. “I've always had a passion for women in supply chain, and giving them the tools and opportunities to move into leadership.” [15.46] As a part of multiple organizations and a champion for women, the big issue Beverly hears women in the workplace raise, time and again. “Women don't want to complain, it's hard to find a voice without being looked at as angry or difficult.” [17.49] What her ‘workforce innovator' award means to Beverly, and why forums and awards for women are so important. [20.05] Beverly's experience of being a working Mom, the bias and discrimination still in play, and what needs to change to improve workplaces and cultures for working mothers. “I spent most of my life hiding the fact that I was a Mom at work, I never wanted to talk about my kids in case people thought I was less dedicated. Then I dropped my kids off at school and, to my Mom friends who didn't work, I was hiding the fact that I was a working Mom because they would say: ‘oh she's leaving her kids.' It was lonely.” [23.03] Beverly's take on work-life balance, and why it's crucial to build a lifestyle that works for you. “You need to be really clear on what's important to you. And if you're in a work environment where you're not able to live the life you want, maybe it's time for a change. Because not every company is going to have a culture that you'll thrive in.” [26.05] The future for Beverly.   RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:   You can connect with Beverly Steele over on LinkedIn.

Send us a textS&OP systems have evolved dramatically in recent years, paralleling advancements seen across other enterprise software categories. Modern S&OP solutions are now cloud-native, offering far more than traditional demand forecasting capabilities. These robust, enterprise-grade platforms often include advanced features like trade promotion planning and settlements, addressing the needs of the entire value chain. A notable example is Oracle Demantra, which once stood out for its extensive library of demand forecasting algorithms but has since been integrated into the Oracle Demand Management Cloud solution. Yet, its position among other leading enterprise-grade options, such as e2open or Blue Yonder, continues to spark discussion as businesses weigh their strengths in functionality, scalability, and overall fit for diverse operational requirements.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry experts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to conduct an independent review of Oracle Demantra's capabilities. We covered many grounds, including where Oracle Demantra might be a a fit in the enterprise architecture and where it might be overused. Finally, they analyze many data points to help understand the core strengths and weaknesses of Oracle Demantra.Background Soundtrack: Away From You – Mauro SommFor more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs. rocks or elevatiq.com.

Our guest on this week's episode is Paul Caron, a cyber Intelligence expert whose title is Head of Cyber Security, Americas at global intelligence and cybersecurity consultancy S-RM. Last week we learned of a major ransomware attack at Blue Yonder that put many supply chains in a somewhat perilous situation just as we went into Black Friday. So, how secure are our supply chains and should this latest attack be something of a wake-up call? Our guest offers some insights into such attacks and how supply chain companies can build security and resilience into their systems.Economic activity in the logistics industry expanded in November, continuing a steady growth pattern that began earlier this year and signaling a return to seasonality after several years of fluctuating conditions. That's according to the latest Logistics Managers' Index report (LMI), which was released this week. We look at the numbers behind the index and what they mean for the health of the logistics industry.We are smack in between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and knee-deep in the middle of the winter-peak shopping season. And that means we're also in the middle of the peak-shipping season, when e-commerce retailers are handling a huge surge of orders for holiday gifts. Most shoppers are demanding to receive their goods in two days or less. We share a report card on how they are doing at getting these shipments to their destinations on time.  Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. A series of ten episodes is now available on the "State of Logistics." The episodes provide in-depth looks into the current states of key transportation modes, such as trucking, rail, air, and ocean. It also looks at inventory management, 3PLs and more.  All ten episodes are available to stream now. Go to your favorite podcast platform to subscribe and to listen to past and future episodes.

When you look at transportation, post-pandemic, there was a lot of excess capacity… Now volume is down, we have a lot of healthy competition, and shippers were smart – they locked in rates… So people are looking to increase utilization with what they have. So labor and cost, as opposed to scale for growth, is driving most of the portfolio.” [15.43] Blue Yonder's transportation management solution, and how it's helping customers to overcome challenges, as well as transform their transportation operations.
