Send me a messageSupply chains are under increasing pressure to reduce costs, improve service levels, and meet sustainability targets—but how can organisations balance all three? In this episode, I'm joined by Sunder Balakrishnan, Head of Supply Chain Analytics at LatentView Analytics, to discuss how data and AI are transforming supply chain decision-making.We explore:Why perfect data doesn't exist—and why that's not a barrier to actionHow AI can optimise supply chains for cost, service, and sustainability simultaneouslyReal-world applications of AI, from reducing wastewater emissions to improving on-shelf availabilityThe challenges of AI adoption, including data integration and change managementThe role of digital twins in supply chain simulation and planningOne key takeaway? Sustainability should be embedded into supply chain design from the outset, rather than treated as an afterthought. AI can enhance visibility, provide predictive insights, and help organisations make data-backed sustainability decisions—but only if businesses invest in the right data foundations and employee education.If you're looking to understand how AI and analytics can create smarter, more resilient, and sustainable supply chains, this episode is for you.#SupplyChain #Sustainability #AI #DigitalTwins #SupplyChainAnalytics #DataDrivenElevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain' podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.

Mike, Seth, & Tommy dive into an amazing two part series (part 2 is next week) on how BI has evolved and the hot take that we are exiting an era of BI as we know it and about to enter a new one. For those who are a bit younger... Power BI wasn't always the way organizations developed and consumed data. However Power BI has been the primary catalyst on moving us out of one era and where we are now. But that is about to change.

For Felipe Sotelo, it's all about priorities. That's why Dad & Husband are the titles on his LinkedIn profile. It's also why he now believes demand forecast agility is more important than accuracy in the post-pandemic world of supply chain disruptions. On this episode of The Health Pulse, positive thinker, business reinvention leader and writer Sotelo joins host Alex Maiersperger to share his insights as a supply chain leader for organizations including Johnson & Johnson, Teva Pharmaceuticals and PepsiCo. Forecast accuracy can never be perfect, and in a scenario full of disruptions, Sotelo argues that it's more important to focus on agility and speed so that organizations can respond more effectively to disruptions. In his opinion, prioritization plays a big role, and the organizations that succeed are those that have both a strong leadership strategy and investment in technology and analytics to drive insights into keeping the strategy on track. The main focus now is regulating supply chains to ensure essential equipment is available. And, the new normal will prioritize both cost efficiency and reliability over cost efficiency alone.When asked about a light at the end of the tunnel for pandemic-related disruption, Sotelo predicts we won't see it before 2024. But, that doesn't keep him from being optimistic about the role of supply chain leaders in shaping a better, more sustainable future. 

In this episode, we interview James Jacobe - Head of Operations for a well-known hair & skin care company as well as professor and Subject Matter Expert for Supply Chain Analytics and Technologies at Georgetown University. We cover everything from setting your supply chain up for success to self-development and career growth. This is a value packed interview you won't want to miss!

What can MedTech companies do to be constructive, profitable and value-added participants in the shift to Value-Based Care? The big companies are all over this.  They have entire departments devoted to being ahead of this curve.  What about the small and medium sized companies?   Today we dig into that. This episode is “Intro to Value-Based Care Part 2”.  Once again, our guest to finish this introduction is Barbara Strain, Founder and principal of Barbara Strain Consulting. Prior to her move into consulting, Barbara was on the provider side of the healthcare equation as Director of Supply Chain Analytics and later Director of Value Management at the Univ. of Virginia Health System.  She is also a founding member of AHVAP, the Association of Healthcare Value Analysis Professionals. Needless to say, she knows what she is talking about.  In the last episode, we covered the history of value based care including discussion of various government cost containment measures that are currently in place.  Now we dig further into the trend towards Value-Based Care and what MedTech companies can do to consider this trend in their product development, marketing and sales efforts. I want to give another warm welcome to new members of the MedTech Leaders community.  Barbara is a member and can be reached within the community. For more information on this community, go to medtechleaders.net. I want to thank all of you for your support throughout 2021.  The podcast audience has continued to grow.  And, we have maintained our Feedspot ranking of the 2nd most popular medical device podcast.  Not bad when you consider this is a home produced program without the backing of a media company or commercial enterprise.  The best support you can give me is to share this podcast with a colleague using the share link on your preferred podcast platform.

Understanding this important subject is part of knowing your customer. Here is a factoid from today's conversation, the sickest 5% of the US population consumes 50% of healthcare resources.  One of many reasons fee for service is not sustainable and that the move to value-based care is gaining momentum.  Today's episode is the first of several episodes on Value-Based Care.  I am calling it "Intro to Value-Based Care Part 1".  Our guest for both part 1 and part 2 is Barbara Strain, Principal of Barbara Strain consulting.  Prior to her recent move into consulting, Barbara was the Director of Supply Chain Analytics and later Director of Value Management at the Univ. of Virginia Health System.  She is also a founding member of AHVAP, the Association of Healthcare Value Analysis Professionals. So, she has lived the history of DRGs, Bundles and Value-Based Care.   Barbara is going to give us a foundation in the subject so we will be better prepared for guest speakers from a hospital system, a physician practice and from industry. Before I get to today's episode, I want to share what the podcast content will look like over the first half of the year.  We (when I say we, I mean you and me)…We will be exploring 3 big themes. These themes are Value-Based Care, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics.  I really believe these three areas will have a major impact on healthcare and MedTech going forward.  I have been working hard rounding up guest experts in these areas. If you know someone I should consider as a guest speaker, let me know.  I am serious.  Use the contact link in the show notes or message me via LinkedIn or the MedTech Leaders community.  Of course, there will be some other subject matter experts and “In the C-Suite” guests mixed in.  And, due to the difficulties scheduling guests, the themes will be mixed up in order of publication.  So, one week you may get value-based care and the next week artificial intelligence followed by robotics. By the way, Barbara is a member of the MedTech leaders' community.  A place for MedTech leaders and sales and marketing professionals to help each other out, learn from each other and subject matter experts. Several people joined last week.  A warm welcome to all of you.  You can learn more at medtechleaders.net. There is a free trial and the cost is equal to about 3 or 4 cups of artisanal coffee depending how big the cup is you drink. Now Go Win Your Week!!

I was chatting with David Vallejo (@sapvallejo on Twitter) recently planning our podcast on The Future of Business Planning in Supply Chain which we published earlier this week when I happened to mention that Reddit user Omkarpalkar had asked me to do a podcast around analytics.David said he'd be happy to talk about analytics seeing as analytics are used a lot in business planning, so I said "Great, let's make a(nother) podcast". We talked about all aspects of analytics in the podcast, including where analytics are headed in future supply chains.We had fun putting this podcast together, I hope you enjoy listening to it. If you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - feel free to leave me a voice message over on my SpeakPipe page or just send it to me as a direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

Eddie McGeachie from Seaforth Analytics and Accelerated Insight joins me on The Procuretech Podcast today to discuss how data and supply chain analytics have shaped his career over the years. We dive into how his company now helps boutique procurement consultancies and direct clients to understand the data from disparate systems and formats, and how understanding data . I've long been a proponent of getting your data ducks in a row, so this was one long, golden nugget of an interview for me. So much so that I just let Eddie keep dropping bombs of value, and even after a fair bit of editing I was still about 10 minutes over our usual episode length! Warning: If you're not a native English speaker, you might have to listen slowly to understand Eddie's Glaswegian accent - it's a tough dialect! - but you will get TONS to ponder after listening to this. Agile Analytics: How Seaforth Analytics' solutions deliver cost modelling and savings across diverse sectors1:45 Eddie explains how his long and successful career eventually led him to the Supply Chain Analytics space. 5:32 Good fortune allowed Eddie to be in a job where he was given the freedom to work 25% of his time on passion projects. Learn what he decided to work on. 7:08 Getting the basics in place first. I offer up 3 fundamentals of what every procurement department should get in order and then ask Eddie for his take. His answer was not what I expected: surprising but very insightful. 9:10 Eddie explains the importance of procurement and supply chain having a presence at the top table, both to increase influence and to be seen as a value driver rather than an overhead. 11:29 Why being able to understand the same language that all stakeholders speak and being able to "get" where each department or affected party is coming from is vital 14:00 Eddie explains the value of finding the pivotal person in any organisation at the beginning. The person who understands at source what data and queries can be pulled from the existing systems in place. Usually, he mentions, they don't sit in procurement. 17:03 I ask who are Seaforth's client base typically and what different type of products and services are on offer. 17:58 Is the analysis performed a one-off exercise, or can they integrate with existing ERP systems? 19:10 How the Accelerated Insight tool brought together 150 disparate files on one procurement transformation project, and why having the data on its own is not enough. You need to understand what the data is actually telling you. 20:58 We discuss the bane of free text POs and how to make the best of a bad situation with imperfect data. Eddie provides an example of how this led to spotting a valuable irregularity, or can also be used to spot patterns of potential fraudulent transactions. 26:30 I ask whether there are specific categories which are better suited to their tools and analytics. 28:20 How price anomalies can be easily exposed from the analytics they can run, without the need to manually check invoices at first. 29:35 We discuss whether these findings can apply to direct or indirect materials alike. 31:34 Why Eddie believes that data science techniques and fundamentals should possibly be part of the CIPS qualification or at least general procurement onboarding training in large corporates.

Fraud can happen anywhere in your supply chain. Are you doing enough to stop it? As companies extend their supply chains through partnerships with distant suppliers and manufacturers, the risk of fraud increases. So, too, does the possibility of misbehavior within the organization. Adding to the complexity is a sea of data that can be tough to sort through and utilize in an effective manner. One solution lies in the use of sophisticated analytics, which can help companies make sense of all that information, establish strict metrics for ethical behavior, detect any wayward activities, and allow for instant action. In this episode, John Joseph, vice president of marketing with Lavastorm, talks about how analytics can be deployed within global supply chains to tackle the many forms of fraud that can plague an organization. Billions of dollars are at stake, he says.
