Webinar Description

Join us for an exclusive conversation with Scott DeGroot, former VP of Global Planning at Kimberly-Clark (Now with the University of Tennessee), as he shares how he got support for innovative supply chain strategies to drive cost savings, improve efficiency, and enable reinvestment in advanced systems.

Scott will discuss real-world lessons from his experience making transformation initiatives happen:

  • Getting IT support
  • Moving quickly to leverage AI-driven supply network planning solutions
  • Using success to unlock other opportunities

The benefits were significant: The initiative reduced transportation costs, optimized the use of core carriers, improved OTIF, and funded investments in other supply chain technology.

  2. The role of AI-driven performative analytics in improving efficiency

  3. How cost savings can be reinvested to drive future innovations
