Connected Supply Chain Planning for Manufacturers — A Conversation with Bob Honer of Anaplan

May 2, 2024

At the 2024 edition of the North American Manufacturing Excellence Summit series we sat down with Bob Honer, Anaplan’s Senior Director of Supply Chain Practice, to talk about connected supply chain planning and what it means for manufacturers. Today’s business landscape is one of frequent disruption and changing customer expectations. Demand planning has never been more complicated, and fulfilling the S&OE requirements of shifting demand with an evolving footprint across a logistical network undergoing sometimes dramatic transformation is a challenge that can only be addressed by having everyone in the value chain sharing the same information and making decisions with the whole picture in mind. What does that look like for manufacturers? What does it allow them to do that they cannot do any other way? How does it allow the strategic and tactical level to align and coordinate? What is involved in moving to a connected supply chain model? For all these questions and more, give this episode a listen!

4PL Solutions for Today’s Supply Chain — A Conversation with Jordan Kass of C.H. Robinson | TMC

May 17, 2024

At the most recent edition of the North American Supply Chain Executive Summit series we sat down with Jordan Kass, the president of TMC, a division of C.H. Robinson, to talk about how supply chain executives are rethinking their logistics in the post-pandemic business landscape of frequent disruption, and how 4PLs are contributing to that ongoing conversation. While third-party logistics companies have always and will always be an important component of supply chains at local, regional, national, and international levels, 4PLs —organizations that take on many of the planning, oversight, and coordination powers of a supply chain organization, including directing and monitoring the actions of 3PLs— are uniquely positioned to modernize and reorganize long-established plans and networks to better meet the needs of today’s businesses. In this conversation we get into what that kind of partnership looks like, how it makes an impact, and what senior supply chain leaders need to be thinking about and learning about as they restructure their organizations for a successful future.
