President Donald Trump wants Michigan automobile manufacturers to move entire supply chains to the U.S. And he’s put steep tariffs on the automotive industry in an attempt to spur that change. But many of these manufacturers are taking a wait-and-see approach because of the administration's constantly changing policies, and the cost associated with moving production. After President Donald Trump’s 25% automotive import tariffs went into effect April 3, a report from Reuter estimated auto sales could decline by two million.

In this episode of SCW for Pharma, Evren Ozkaya welcomes Andrew Kewson, Head of Global Supply Chain Management at Basilea Pharmaceutica. With a background spanning packaging engineering, food and beverage, and global supply chain roles in pharma, Andrew brings a unique perspective to the industry's operational challenges and digital future.The conversation opens with Andrew's view on the agility advantage held by smaller pharma companies. Unlike their larger counterparts, they are not weighed down by legacy systems—making it easier to build efficient, responsive supply chains from the ground up. Especially in the wake of COVID-19, agility and resilience have become non-negotiable traits for navigating uncertainty.Andrew highlights how digital tools and AI are beginning to reshape the industry, particularly in areas like root cause analysis and anomaly detection. He points out that while big pharma often struggles with fragmented or unreliable data, smaller companies can build reliable systems from the start, giving them a head start in adopting advanced technologies.Packaging inefficiencies are another key area of discussion. Compared to faster-moving consumer industries, pharma lines often sit idle. Andrew explains how better data visibility on the shop floor can expose bottlenecks, helping teams unlock hidden capacity without major capital investments.Evren and Andrew also dig into the human side of operational excellence. Andrew stresses the value of cross-functional ownership—from finance to HR to operators—in fostering a lean culture. When everyone is aligned on production goals and outcomes, improvements come faster and motivation grows.The conversation closes with a look at AI's future in pharma. Both agree that without reliable, rich data, AI's potential is limited. Evren introduces SCW's 3D framework—Data, Dashboard, Decision—to explain the digital transformation journey, emphasizing the foundational role of high-quality data before automation can truly take hold.

With the supply chain industry in the headlines for all the wrong reasons lately, it might make the idea of choosing it as a career path seem counterintuitive for college students. However, the field still presents excellent opportunities for young professionals and recent graduates.  One of the primary challenges is that most students are unaware that majoring in supply chain management is even an option. Lori Sisk, automotive supply chain veteran and Assistant Professor at Wayne State University's Global Supply Chain Management program, is determined to raise awareness and attract young talent. She says it's essential to “get the word out” to high school and community college students that a program like hers exists — in the Motor City no less. Themes discussed in this episode:  The importance of rotational programs to help students understand the many different areas within supply chain The premium that today's employers put on understanding data analytics and applying that knowledge to decision-making The complementary relationship between industry and academia in professional development programs like the one Lori helped develop at the https://www.aiag.org/ (Automotive Industry Action Group) (AIAG) The increasing desire for flexibility in the workplace among supply chain students and recent graduates How students tend to defy their own expectations when provided with the right learning and work environments  https://auto-supply-chain.captivate.fm/24-processes-free-downlaod (At the heart of The Prophets' vision are “The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.” What are they?

Being in Detroit and being passionate industry veterans and educators helps the recruiting effort.  [5:05] A real-world education: Rotational programs with employers expose Lori's students to supply chain niches that range from purchasing to logistics to materials management to production planning and give them a practical understanding of each part of the supply chain.  [6:04] Hot spots: The supply chain areas Lori's students tend to gravitate towards are purchasing, logistics and consulting.

As organizers and productivity professionals, we are uniquely positioned to help our clients prepare for inevitable challenges. But how can we best go about it, and what are some of the key challenges? To better understand this, along with how to help clients prepare for the unexpected, NAPO member and professional organizer, today’s guest is Lisa Witzleben. Lisa spent over 13 years working in logistics and worked alongside the State of Alaska, Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Management as a logistics planner. She holds a Master’s of Science in Global Supply Chain Management and became a solopreneur in 2015, running Unclutter Me to assist clients in leading a simpler life through an intentional process of decluttering then organizing. Listen in as Lisa explains what stops people from preparing for known and unknown risks and what she does to help people face the unknown, create a plan, and act on it, all while providing support and fostering a sense of safety. Lisa also has some key tips for getting your own preparation plans in order, starting with a “go folder”, which she describes in detail. Both business owners and individuals can learn a lot from this episode, so make sure to tune in today!   Key Points From This Episode: Lisa starts by asserting our ability to take control of situations, both known and unknown. [00:03:06] The one thing that stops people from preparing for known risks, says Lisa, is fear. [00:04:42] What business owners can do to help people in positions of fear and overwhelm. [00:08:09] The importance of starting the conversation around support and organization with clients. [00:03:06] Lisa explains why no one necessarily wants to talk about preparedness. [00:10:33] An example of how Lisa uses to start this conversation with her clients, and how she works with them, step-by-step. [00:12:46] Letting her clients know she can help them face the unknown, create a plan, and act on it. [00:14:06] How Lisa creates urgency about acting while also fostering a sense of safety by being direct. [00:18:22] While not specific, Lisa has a rough list of the unknowns that must be prepared for – from minor healthcare issues to natural disasters. [00:21:22] Why holding her clients accountable is another crucial part of the process. [00:24:28] The starting point Lisa suggests is creating a “go folder”, and she explains it in depth. [00:26:39] Digital versus physical, and why Lisa highly recommends having physical copies. [00:28:43] What COOP means, and why business owners should be aware of it in preparing for their own unknowns. [00:31:44] Conversations to have with your employees about these unknowns, large or small.

In this episode, I will chat with Dr. Ednilson Bernardes.  Dr. Bernardes is a professor and coordinator of the Global Supply Chain Management program at West Virginia University. He is an expert in process transformation and supply networks innovation. And He is also one of the authors of the recently released book, Digital Supply Networks.  Traditionally, supply chains have been conceived and managed as a discrete sequence of activities, from design, plan, and source to make, deliver, and return. This linear model creates silos of information inside an organization and across its supply network. Piecing together the relevant information for decision making consumes a tremendous amount of time and effort. The contemporary market reality shaped after the "Amazon Effect" had rendered the traditional supply chain operating model inadequate. Disruptive crisis, such as COVID-19, has further highlighted the limitations of the conventional model and accelerated the shift to a digitally-enabled model, the 'Digital Supply Network.'   In this conversation we will discuss:   Roles of Data and Technology play in our current life The differences between Supply Chain Management and a Digital Supply Network The dynamics of a DSN Links from Episode:  Ednilson Bernardes LinkedIn
