Tom Pierce, the President of Integrated Information Systems Incorporated provides valuable insights based on his diverse background in problem-solving, logistics modeling, and consulting.    Introduction Our guest, Tom Pierce, the President of Integrated Information Systems Incorporated provides valuable insights based on his diverse background in problem-solving, logistics modeling, and consulting. The episode explores the impact of technology and human behavior on the supply chain, challenges in decision-making related to expenses and stock management, and the importance of honesty, transparency, and human connections in supply chain management.   Topics Covered The mindset required for effective decision-making in healthcare expenses The social and psychological dimensions of business decisions Transparency and human connections in supply chain management Data quality challenges and human intervention with digital technologies Overseas supply procurement and its implications The importance of truthfulness in buyer-supplier communication The bullwhip effect and technology's role in accelerating it Cost-risk versus schedule-risk: organizational motivations The impact of just-in-time vs. just-in-case inventory strategies   2:45 The Impact of Technology on Problem Solving "Once computers made their appearance, and yes, I am so old that I learned how to use a slide rule and the calculator was in advance, so I'm that old, but as computers came on the scene, the only reason I was interested in them was because they could help me do things to solve problems quicker, more efficiently, all of that. So I've grown up with the introduction of technology into previously very human, very brute force, mental math, pencil and paper, problem solving, but it's very hard to condense 40 years of what technology has done to the ways we solve problems and the ways we create new ones. Everything we did humanly good and bad has been accelerated and amplified by technology.:   6:17 The Impact of Technology on Human Behavior "It's rather amazing how much our computers have been created in our own image and exemplify, manifest the same flaws that we as people exhibit when relating to each other, but it's less inhibited."   10:34 The Impact of Financial Incentives in Organizations "I don't think that's a bad thing. I think people should be rewarded financially and get fairly compensated for their investment in in technology, you know, and people that do well should be rewarded for doing well. I got no problem with that."   13:26 "Just in Time Inventory Practices" Well, if it's not broke, don't fix it. Well, that doesn't mean don't have spare batteries. When my flashlight goes out in the middle of the night, I want to be able to go into my pantry or my workshop and get more batteries, but that's not lean unless you can predict exactly how many batteries you're going to need and then the ideal becomes, "Well, we'll just have an Amazon ready to deliver to batteries same day," and just reduce and reduce and reduce the carrying cost of your inventory, and I blame the Walmarts and the Targets of the world for doing just that. They leaned out their own cost by offloading those costs to their suppliers, so the just-in-case part, right? In case of disaster, well, that's your vendor's problem, because your big and powerful and you can insist, if you want to do business with us, then you've got to maintain stockage objectives and you've got to reply 24/7 replenishing my shelves, because I don't want to maintain a big warehouse. I just want to move parts through.   15:07 Just in time versus just in case "If your only motivation is profit, that's a really good business model for a finance person. Mhmm. It's not a great business model if what you're really trying to do is continuously improve your product and your service and the delivery times and, you know, customer lead times, all that."   19:30 The Deception Game in Business “I need to know when my parts are going to arrive and I need you, as my supplier, to meet that date, because I'm counting on it, but I'm not going to tell you that I'm fudging the date a little bit, because I want to build myself a little cushion, because I'm telling my boss it's going to be here by February, so I'm telling you I need it by January, and you've got sub-tiers and if it goes seven levers down, now you've got people running around like mad people trying to do things six months earlier than they're really needed. And if you're good and successful, it goes through the chain and it ends up on somebody's shelf six months earlier than it was really needed” 22:42  The Bullwhip Effect “The more you fudge, the more you hedge, the less honest you are, you end up with what a lot of people in supply chain refer to as the bullwhip effect, right? You make a slight quick motion with your wrist on the handle and on a really long whip, the tip of it is going to break the sound barrier. You can have that dramatic effect on a really long supply chain as the amplification, and again, technology amplifies and accelerates that.”     25: 19 Predictability in Supply Chains: "Level is more predictable when your forecastability, your coefficient of variance, Ratio of standard deviation to mean is, well, one expert that I trust highly says, when it's greater than 20%, You're entering an area, a quadrant, that they would call unforecastable."   32: 10 The Importance of Trust in Leadership: "I will trust you until you give me not just one, maybe two or three reasons not to trust you. Maybe the answer should be seven or 70 times seven, but my default position is going to be in trust until I have a reason not to trust you. I believe well-informed leaders make better decisions, so there's way too many people that are afraid to tell the boss the truth, to tell the shareholders the truth, to tell the clients the truth, to tell  well-informed people throughout your living experience perform better.”   Connect with Lisa Miller on LinkedIn Connect with Jim Cagliostro on LinkedIn Connect with Tom Pierce on LinkedIn  Check out VIE Healthcare and SpendMend        You'll Also Hear: 1. The Impact of Technology on Human Behavior: We discussed the interplay between technology and human decision-making in supply chain management, emphasizing the psychological and social aspects involved. Understanding the mindset needed for decision-making related to expenses, shelf life considerations, stock management, and tolerance for excess stock is crucial in today's rapidly evolving healthcare landscape. 2. Transparency, Trust, and Communication: Honesty, transparency, and human connections are essential for effective supply chain management. We explored the challenges of data quality, the need for human intervention in digital technologies, and the implications of deception and lack of transparency in communication between buyers and sellers. Establishing trust and honest communication is vital for well-informed decision-making and effective leadership. 3. Balancing Cost and Risk: The episode delved into the concept of cost risk versus schedule risk in business and the implications of the healthcare industry's focus on cost and slim operating margins. We explored the balance between maintaining emergency inventories of life-saving equipment and outsourcing supply chain overseas to manage costs, highlighting the impact on organizations' motivations and incentives.   What To Do Next:   Subscribe to The Economics of Healthcare and receive a special report on 15 Effective Cost Savings Strategies.   There are three ways to work with VIE Healthcare:   Benchmark a vendor contract – either an existing contract or a new agreement.

The economy has been top of mind for consumers throughout 2022 and into 2023. In a survey by PSCU, nearly nine in ten consumers stated they were worried about the economic outlook, while three-quarters also reported they were concerned about their personal finances. In response to economic uncertainty, consumers want choice and variety when making purchases and transacting. In fact, most consumers said they are using a greater variety of payment methods than they did a few years ago, including digital payment options. We have Tom Pierce, CMO of PSCU on the Banking Transformed podcast. He shares the results of the most recent Eye on Payments study done by PSCU and provides insights into how financial institutions can better serve members and customers. This episode of Banking Transformed Solutions is sponsored by PSCU Through this annual research, discover how PSCU explores the factors that influence consumers when it comes to their choice and usage of different payment methods, how these factors may vary among different life stages and economic events, and how credit unions can better serve their members and optimize their offerings to adapt to these evolving preferences and needs – both now and in the future.  Visit www.pscu.com/eye-on-payments for more information.

Most people when they start on their ERP journey feel it's more of a science, which engineers can figure out easily. But then they quickly realize that irrespective of whether the model is built on a spreadsheet or a complex computer program, it relies on the quality of inputs and the context. And that's what makes ERP implementations so hard as it's really more of an art than a science. And just like the way an artist gets better as they get more experience under their belt, the chances of ERP implementations would be higher as you figure out the art of ERP implementation.In today's episode our guest, Tom Pierce, shares why ERP implementation is more of an art than science. He also talks about several issues related to ERP implementation projects such as how siloed culture impacts the outcome of ERP implementation, the disconnect between digital and physical processes, and how minor changes such as six vs twelve characters on bin number could result in more than 300 programming changes. Finally, we discussed some controversial concepts related to enterprise architecture such as single vs multiple sources of truth, the order of migration for different ERP components, and prioritization of features whether you should be first focusing on simpler concepts or edge cases that are likely to break your architecture and systems.For more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs.rocks or elevatiq.com.

50 States, 50 weeks, 50 Browns fans - Paul visit Dallas in Texas to talk Browns, Backers and food with Tom Pierce the president of @dallasbrowns.

This week, we air two segments. South Carolina Prisoner, "J" First, "J" is in segregation in a South Carolina prison. He does not give his full name or the prison he's inside for reasons of personal safety. You'll hear him share a bit about his experience of the prison strike from the inside, the repression of prisoners at his facilities, prisoner unity in the strike,the high costs of living in prison and poor quality of food and other goods available and the red herring of administration that cell phones are the cause of violence. He shares condolences for families of those who were killed at Lee Correctional, the guard-instigated violence in April that sparked the call for the Nationwide Prison Strike. J also shares his thanks of outside supporters who have demonstrated outside of his facility, IWOC in particular and those who've helped to carry prisoners words around the world. To hear updates on the strike, again, we suggest y'all check out prisonstrike.com and the sites it links, as well as recent episodes of the IGDpodcast, The Hot Wire, Kiteline & Rustbelt Abolition Radio, all members of the Channel Zero Network. Resisting Nuclear Trash in Bure, France After that, for the bulk of the episode shares words from Daniel, who is involved in resistance to the building of a nuclear waste storage facility in the Gran Est (formerly Alsace-Champagne-Ardenne-Lorraine or ACAL) region near the French border with Germany. This infrastructure mega project threatens to poison the ground-water that feeds Paris, poison the ground in Gran Est and for villages like Bure where Daniel is based, and the resistance to the CIGEO storage facility has been met by harsh government repression and a heavy response police response. Daniel talks about the energy infrastructure in France, the military and colonial connection with the fuel of Uranium, comparisons to the ZAD at Notre Dame de Landes in Western France, resistance to other damaging power sources like in the Hambach Forest against a huge lignite mine in Germany and a few words about anti-pipeline struggles in the U.S. We experienced some technical difficulties during the Bure interview, so for about 15 minutes there is a buzz. We hope that you will power through and listen carefully through the audio because the information is very interesting. After that time, it clears up and Daniel is far more listenable. Here are a few references Daniel makes, such as the Tarnac Case, the ZAD (our interviews on the ZAD) , Hambach Forest (including interviews by crimethInc and us). The deforestation may happen this autumn, so actions in Bure (which is bristling with police who detain and inspect people). You can find out info in French at https://vmc.camp (most updated) that can be put through a translator or a less-updated English-language version at https://en.vmc.camp or one in German at https://de.vmc.camp that's slightly more updated. And Unicorn Riot did a piece last year contextualizing the ZAD NDDL, Hambach Forest resistance and struggle in Bure. If you'd like to hear an update and call-out about resistance in the Hambach forest by audio comrades from Infolara in Switzerland, check out the link in our shownotes. This audio will be a part of the next edition of B(A)DNews: Angry Voices From Around The World, produced by the International A-Radio Network of Anarchist and Anti-Authoritarian radio and podcast projects, of which we and Infolara are members. B(A)DNews is a monthly, English-language podcast (sometimes with a Spanish-language edition) released in the middle of each month. Stay tuned for that and you can find past episodes at A-Radio-Network.Org Announcements Resisting Neo-Confederates and Nazis in Eastern TN From an IGD post entitled “No Fascists in Appalachia: Call to Oppose League of the South in Tennessee“: "The League of the South (LOS) and other far-Right/neo-Nazi groups are organizing two events in Northeast Tennessee this month. One will target the TriPride march in Johnson City and the other is a gathering in Elizabethton, Tennessee to protest the fall of Silent Sam in Chapel Hill NC." "The LOS is a neo-Confederate hate group known for its flash-rallies brandishing the Confederate battle flag in small towns across the South, and for its extreme violence like in Charlottesville on August 12, 2017 last summer. Their Chief of Staff is Michael Tubbs, a former green beret who went to prison for stealing and stockpiling weapons from the US Military for the KKK, and who was integral to the violence in Charlottesville." TriPride will be held in Johnson City, TN and will march through downtown, starting at 101 Commerce Street. Tennessee LOS coordinator Tom Pierce has called for a protest to happen along the march route. Pierce helped organize a similar protest against a Pride march last June in Knoxville." "We're calling for folx to organize autonomously for this event. The fascists could show up on any part of the march route so be prepared to visibly or physically block them from interfering with the pride march.” Check out the IGD article to see the full, article. Defend Rashid From Transfer The prominent voice featured in last week's episode of The Final Straw, the political prisoner Kevin Rashid Johnson, is being threatened with another punitive transfer because of his organizing and speaking out. There is a hearing on Monday, September 10th in his prison in Virginia, the state in which he was captured before being transferred away. His past transfers have moved him further from his family, have resulted in beatings, medical neglect, threats, starvation other attacks by prison officials and other prisoners. It would be awesome if you, dear listener, could take a moment to call and email tomorrow starting at 9am eastern time to the official in charge of interstate compact: Chief of Corrections Operations David Robinson. We can call the main office number at 804-674-3000 and ask to be transferred to his phone line. Robinson's email address is david.robinson@vadoc.virginia.gov. When leaving a message or talking to Mr Robinson, refer to Rashid by his legal name Kevin Johnson, and give his Virginia prison id # 1007485. Explain that he is better off in Virginia, that he has been subjected to serious human rights abuses during previous transfers. Over ten thousand people have already signed a petition demanding that he be released from solitary and that he not be transferred.

Update on Harm Reduction and Food Distribution in Asheville The City of #Asheville just dropped their notice of violation against the 12 Baskets food distribution project out of the Kairos West community center, however is still retaining it's attack on Steady Collective's needle exchange, noloxin distribution and harm reduction program by an unprecedented challenge to Firestorm's hosting of the project via claiming that Firestorm is operating a homeless shelter by hosting Steady Collective. This is idiotic. Distributing harm reduction tools to the public saves lives and providing a space for people to sit, read, access reading materials and the internet does not amount to a shelter. If you haven't heard the issues, check out our August 12th interview with Hill Brown of Steady Collective and keep an eye on their social media presence as well as that of Firestorm. Also, consider a visit to their public event every Tuesday at Firestorm from 1:30 to 4pm. BRABC event On Thursday, September 20th at Firestorm Books & Coffee in West Asheville, NC, Blue Ridge Anarchist Black Cross will be packaging mail for prisoners. No experience needed, just show up ready to fold and address and stamp materials. Snacks and good company will be provided! . ... . .. Playlist is pending
