Global supply chain visibility has been an elusive goal for over 20 years, but today’s “Amazon Effect” coupled with the capacity crisis is creating more pressure on supply chains than ever before. This means the ability to view, analyze and communicate multimodal visibility data in real time is critical to improving financial and service KPIs.

Utilizing new technologies such as ELDs, telematics, and logistics networks will help produce results and enable dramatic visibility improvements; driving fundamental changes to the modern supply chain.

You will learn to:

• Identify the biggest areas of payback in your transportation operation
• Ensure you get maximum coverage and compliance from your carriers
• Apply customer success examples to your operation
• Extend the value to customers and partners
• Deliver value rapidly
• Assess the capabilities of a global freight visibility solution

We’re in a major component shortage. The electronics industry is currently experiencing the most extreme component scarcity in over a decade. Lead times on passive-components products have drastically increased as a result, with some suppliers quoting as far out 52 weeks +1. The shortage and its impact is so widespread that the Electronic Components Supply Network (ECSN) is urging electronics buyers to “review their outlook on lead times for components amid surging global demand and reports of allocation risks on certain products.” This is a long-term sourcing challenge that industry analysts see lasting beyond the new year. Many organizations have responded to the supply deficit by double- and triple-ordering components, but this has only aggravated the problem further. Suppliers are starting to allocate their inventory, resulting in massive lead times and increased prices. A shortage of this magnitude isn’t simply caused by increased demand. Industry experts see a number of large-scale changes that are contributing to a “perfect storm” of product scarcity.

In this webinar we'll explore the following:

• Why is this happening?
• Impact on Sourcing
• How you can mitigate this risk

Pay attention to your supply planning processes—or risk financial and regulatory peril.

The consequences of failing to connect the loss of control of the supply plan to regulatory problems is often overlooked by pharmaceutical manufacturers. It’s the “dirty little secret” few people in the industry ever acknowledge.

As a result, companies fail to fix supply planning problems. The implications of this failure can be devastating to customer service, financial performance, and stock price.

Presenter Tom Strohl will explore how poorly functioning supply planning processes almost always lead to supply chain disruptions and serious compliance flaws. Symptoms of poor supply planning processes will also be examined.

You will learn what good business processes look like, allowing you to gain control of your business, by examining:

1. Best practice Integrated Business Planning and Integrated Planning and Control
2. How to secure stability in the operation
3. How you can take your process to the next level
4. What driving towards world class performance looks like
