by CJ Wehlage The Supply Chain Insights annual conference was held on September 10-11, 2014 at the Phoenician in Scottsdale, Arizona. Reliving the old days was made even more rich, as there was a panel session at the conference with Lora Cecere, Roddy Martin, Mickey North-Rizza and myself.
In our pandemic research, we interviewed thirty manufacturers. To gain insights, we interviewed Alexandros Skandalakis, Director of Manufacturing Capacity, reporting to operations/manufacturing globally within Philip Morris. We wanted to find a better way to design our network and optimize future manufacturing outcomes.
of revenue on information technology (IT), only six percent of manufacturers drove performance at the intersection of growth and margin. Average performance in 2016-2019 across twenty-seven manufacturing sectors on inventory turns, Return on Invested Capital and operating margin was worse than in 2012-2015. Despite spending 1.1%

Many of the case studies being presented at today’s conferences were born during the pandemic and the post-pandemic turbulence. One of my insights from doing the industry analysis for the Supply Chains to Admire each year is that smaller and less well-known companies outperform larger and better-known manufacturers.
I smiled on the week following the conference as the accolades piled up in my inbox. Attending the conference was Alexia Howard, Senior Research Analyst – US Foods for Sanford C.

The operating margin for the medical device industry is 4X that of the automotive manufacturer and 2x the margin of the hospital.

There was no line in the bathroom at the Kansas City CLM conference in 2001, but there will be at the CSCMP conference in San Antonio in 2013. In preparation, we are finishing up research on supply chain planning excellence, big data and supply chain, supply chain talent, and digital manufacturing.

The goal of the conference is to Imagine the Supply Chain of 2030. The winners include Apple, AbbVie Inc.,
As the world for non-essential workers moved to on-line meetings, conference calls, and uncertainty, essential workers redefined the workplace to mitigate risk. This cross-functional group (sales, procurement, manufacturing, and distribution) is an operational team to manage the day-to-day issues and exceptions in the supply chain.
This week, I spoke at the Llamasoft Summercon Conference. The conference was low-key. We laughed, and felt a bit silly, leaving the conference room holding our new furry tchotchkes. So, as I cleared my throat to present at the Summercon conference, I looked into the eyes of over 500 supply chain professionals. The reason?

Manufacturers refer to it as the “shop floor to top floor disconnect.” Manhattan Associates (NASDAQ: MANH) announced the release of Manhattan Active Supply Chain Planning. This puts their SCP on the same microservices platform as their other solutions.
Yesterday, I spoke at the Eye for Transport conference on the Big Data opportunity in supply chain. When I go to an analytics conference today, I feel like the dumbest person in the room. They are paving a way for manufacturers to rethink their processes. I cannot sleep. It is hard to quiet an unquiet mind. What do I mean?
by Stephanie Krishnan – Associate Vice President, IDC Manufacturing & Energy Insights Asia/Pacific, IDC Asia/Pacific. “By By 2025, to improve long-term supply chain profitability, 60% of manufacturers in global supply chains will invest in software tools to support sustainability and circular economy business models.”.
We have heard that there is a focus on near-shoring, reshoring, and local manufacturing. Building a fab (manufacturing site) takes two-to-four years and requires the availability of water and trained labor. The focus of the conference is on Supply Chain 2030. The conference is designed for extreme networking.
However, two decades later, there is still no technology solution to enable demand visibility or help companies use channel data to translate demand into an inventory, replenishment, or manufacturing strategy. The demand latency for a semiconductor manufacturer is 180-220 days, while a chemical manufacturer has a latency of 150-280 days.
For example, if I improve the cost structure in transportation, procurement, manufacturing and sales independently, what decision support framework decides the right trade-offs? Here is the video of the Georgia Tech conference on metrics. The problem is that the reduction of costs within one function does not necessarily drive value.
On a cold Boston winter day, I slipped into my seat on a back row in a packed conference room at AMR Research. As I squeezed into the middle seat of a crowded conference room, I got the stare. Only 29% of manufacturers easily manage total cost trade-offs. Heavily booked and running from meeting to meeting, I was late.
AGCO is an agricultural equipment manufacturer. Here is what Mr. Toornman said at the conference. “We When a supply chain disruption occurs, it is not uncommon for complex equipment and automotive manufacturers to have different plants in their company fight each other for the same components.

Here are my thoughts on change management before and after the conference. Recently, I coordinated a change management project for a major manufacturing company. These were my thoughts before the conference. I felt even more strongly on these points post conference. Thoughts on Change Management Post Conference.
Global supply chains are fundamentally rearranging and there’s a lot of reflection on how the urge to optimize efficiency (whether it was offshoring manufacturing to keep labor costs down, or making supply chains very lean to cut inventory costs) made supply chains more fragile. They, like us, were better prepared to react and respond. .
Here I answer the questions that I commonly get when speaking on the Supply Chains to Admire Methodology at conferences to help the reader understand the results and what it means for Supply Chain Excellence. It is a conference to have you think differently and drive new outcomes. What Can We Learn? In Table 1, we list the winners.

The current taxonomy (or frame/models) for the engines does not address the issues of the global multinational manufacturing company. In the Global Supply Chain, there are More Constraints To Address Than Just Manufacturing. A manufacturing company’s safety stock is 30-40% of the total inventory requirement. The reason?
The latest edition of the LogiSYM conference catering to the Middle East/North Africa region, LogiSYM MENA, took place online on August 24. In the first conference segment in the afternoon, the theme shifted to Sustainability – a subject that was hardly discussed at LogiSYM just a few years ago. MORE FROM THIS EDITION.

There aren’t many things I love more than a good manufacturing trade show. There’s simply no better place to discover cutting-edge manufacturing technology, learn about new solutions firsthand and swap ideas with other professionals working at the forefront of innovation.

One of the goals of the conference was to challenge the audience to redefine work. In our research, we find that 72% of planners primarily depend on Excel and desktop analysis despite the rollout of advanced platforms for planning in 92% of manufacturers with greater than 5B$ in revenue. The question is, “Why?”
Next week I will be speaking at the Llamasoft Summercon conference (follow this link to see the slides). The greatest gap is in the design of supplier and manufacturing networks. And, in our Digital Manufacturing Study. Is it coincidence? I don’t think so. I think that it matters. The focus is on physical assets.
