Digital Factories eliminate supply chain problems where there's a mismatch between buyers' knowledge and suppliers' capacity.

In the age of materials shortages and supply chain disruptions, a good supply chain strategy means partnering with suppliers to share vital information. A former supplier turned consultant shares how.

Electronic parts shortages coupled with inflation has been affecting the electronic industry globally. Chris Cain our guest for today's episode is a supply chain consultant and former VP at Keysight working on supply chain and supply chain products. Chris will share with us his 37 years of experience and strategies to overcome electronic part shortages. Watch this episode here Show Higlights: Chris Cain briefly describes what supply management is, and his role as a consultant. Chris explains what it means to tap into the “scale for the larger ecosystem” of electronic providers Find alternatives and make some design adjustments where is possible Look for parts that are very scalable like memory parts and FPGAs Modular approach or designing for modules may also allow designers to have some flexibility If you can't get the parts, you can't ship your working design–having an insight into what's coming in the supply chain could help designers in their decision making It pays to spend a little time keeping up with groups like IPC which does the groundwork of looking up the industry and what they think is coming Chris warns designers about silk-screened sand, he added “never pay, until you verify” Moving towards an open source model, Zach mentioned a recent article on All About Circuits which talks about companies transitioning their chip architectures to RISC-V to help them overcome some of these supply chain issues What is supply chain resilience? Fuel costs push up the cost of everything else it's related to and it's essentially an inflation driver Avoid buying three year supply of parts, it's smarter to focus on design flexibility and overall sourcing flexibility What are the challenges involved with raw materials supplies for assembly?

In this podcast, guest Noha Tohamy joins host Caroline Chumakov to discuss how chief supply chain officers (CSCOs) can use Gartner's Hype Cycle for Supply Chain Strategy, 2022 to make purposeful, informed investment decisions. We look into our recommended approach to choosing the right key capabilities to invest in, which is to balance risk and upside against the organization's long-term goals and desired outcomes. Per Gartner's Hype Cycle research, business capabilities follow a left-to-right progression based on their marketplace maturity: new and relatively unproven capabilities promise large potential benefits but rarely live up to the sky-high expectations. Known but underutilized capabilities may have untapped potential, or may simply fade into obscurity. Proven capabilities typically merit expanded scaling and adoption.

One of the biggest challenges health care leaders are grappling with is the workforce shortage, particularly in nursing. This isn't a new problem, so why haven't we found real solutions? Host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Henry Ford Health System's Vice President and Chief Innovation Officer Lisa Prasad and Senior Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer Eric Wallis to discuss why we need to look at the nursing shortage as a supplychain issue and what can be done both in short-term and long-term.

Where do emerging food leaders see the industry heading over the next five years? For the second year of our informal survey, we asked about 60 Cornell University food program students to rank the importance of various food trends including plant-based, sustainability, inflation, and more. Cornell University Professor Dan Hooker and one of his students join The Food Institute Podcast to help us break down the results. More About Dan Hooker: Dan is a global retail and consumer packaged goods executive with broad experience across diverse business environments and formats, leading traditional food retail operations and merchandising, as well as product development, consumer and category analytics, sourcing and procurement, global trading, national sales and ecommerce.

After earning a degree from Cornell University in Agribusiness and Marketing, Dan plunged headlong into retail joining Aldi Foods as a District Manager.

Today there are over 70 Price Rite stores that generate over $1 Billion in annual revenue and they are a strategic growth driver for Wakefern. After spending two years at Arthur Andersen as a retail consultant Dan spent fourteen years at Daymon Worldwide working with manufacturers and retailers across the world.

In this podcast, guest Simon Bailey joins co-hosts Thomas O'Connor and Caroline Chumakov to discuss Predicts 2022: Supply Chain Strategy. With things changing so quickly, Gartner is exploring the medium-term future in order to help CSCOs make calculated risks based on our research.A key topic discussed is how, when it comes to driving transformation and business impact, CSCOs are recognizing the critical role of collaborative digital ecosystems. How, to achieve competitive success, organizations are bringing together competitors, governments, non-governmental organizations, academia and startups such that they can compete as an ecosystem rather than discrete, individual firms. We also explore the “Say-Do Gap.” Many organizations have made public commitments in areas including sustainability and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). However, some have yet to put solid plans in place to deliver these goals. Those organizations that are reporting progress toward their objectives and actively driving to close gaps with action are the ones that are seeing the benefits. This is a key driver behind two of our predictions: that by 2024, 70% of global organizations will report supply chain performance against corporate DEI objectives, and that by 2025, 90% of public sustainable packaging commitments won't be met due to reliance on plastics and single-use packaging.

In Episode 7 of The Healthcare Leadership Experience, Lisa is joined by Vincent Matozzo, Corporate Supply Chain & Strategic Sourcing Leader at Yale New Haven Health. Together, they explore the need to be intentional with your hospital supply chain strategy. As Vincent observes: ‘'The ability to be intentional comes from a great foundational data analytics strategy.'' Today's episode is sponsored by Invoice ROI™, the only patented purchased services and indirect spend technology to manage, monitor and benchmark line item details.  In this episode you'll hear: Why data analytics is mission-critical to the hospital supply chain, (and why siloed data doesn't drive continuous improvement outcomes).  The evolution of supply chain, from operating in silos to a supply network. The difference between Lean and Six Sigma principles. ‘'What gets measured gets done.'' How to manage supply chain strategic initiatives during a pandemic and why every health system must move out of category management, actively react to what's happening in the marketplace and then deliver. The value of a supply chain peer group (and the advantage of vicariously learning the negative examples). ‘'We all owe it ourselves to change the seven most expensive words in healthcare …‘that's the way we've always done it.' ‘' The importance of supply chain to the C Suite – and why the time is now for the supply chain to fill the margin gaps and support the financial sustainability of a hospital or health system. Why healthcare organizations need to adopt foundational approaches to intentional project and program management. Hint: it's about having and measuring the right tools and impact to continuously improve. The need for a strong performance improvement team and project management group in every health system. ‘'Organizations are great at building sandcastles … but come high tide and the next emergency… we do exactly the same thing, starting from the ground up.''
