Join us for episode two of The Swift Hour where you will learn more from JB Sarrazin, our supply chain expert, and how in today’s current environment, "agility is a sneaky beast". JB and I discuss various topics impacting today’s constrained supply chain such as what it means to be agile, the shift in thinking from equipment optimization to fulfilling your customer requirements, and the new KPIs needed, as well as the role sustainability plays now and in the future.
Check out below to learn more on specific topics such as:
Hear how agility in the short-term horizon can be a real competitive advantage as long as you carefully monitor it. (2:18-2:29)
A story problem involving trains traveling between two cities in France…Story problems are always a good time and this one shows you how important it is to assess before acting if you want to have better service levels and impact. It boils down to understanding and managing your customers' expectations. (4:01-6:23)
Learn how creating disruption in your supply chain by focusing on older KPIs of equipment optimization is dangerous to your raw material supplies and may lead to creating an overload of inventory you might not need. You may be stealing from your raw materials. You know the story, robbing Peter to pay Paul. (8:20-13:57)
We close the show with what organizations need to know in terms of sustainability for the future. (14:58-17:36)
