A new wave of manufacturing is emerging - driven by advances in computing, artificial intelligence, and the need for speed and scale simultaneously. In this Supply Chain Byte, Lisa Anderson explains how Terafab is changing the complexion of computing and what it means for hyperscale manufacturing.
In this Supply Chain Byte, Lisa Anderson explains how manufacturers can leverage advancements in drone technology to respond more quickly and effectively to customer needs. From improving responsiveness to enabling new delivery and operational capabilities, drones are opening new possibilities across the supply chain.
Lisa Anderson, Founder and President of LMA Consulting Group, ranked number 16 in SAP's Supply Chain Influencers list, now joins the ranks as one of Clarity's top 50 Best Thought Leaders in Manufacturing.
Hyperscale manufacturing is an emerging operating model that applies the speed, scalability, and modularity of tech companies to physical production. Hyperscale manufacturing has accelerated in importance as geopolitical risks, national security, and domestic requirements and capabilities have become of paramount importance.
As manufacturing rebounds amid continued geopolitical uncertainty, real-time supply chain visibility has become essential to operational resilience. These companies can respond quickly to changing conditions and gain insights into what’s coming down the pike so that they can provide superior customer service and grow revenue and EBITDA.
Supply chain transformations and upgrades require the improved use of ERP. There is no doubt about it - ERP is the backbone of supply chain performance. Clients come to us to improve performance (typically profitable growth, customer service, and cash flow), and the better utilization of ERP was a key part of 100% of these clients and was required to deliver bottom line results.
Companies are showing increasing interest in supply chain transformation as they want to create predictability, scalability, agility, and sustainable, profitable growth. We’ll talk through supply chain transformation, what’s included, how it relates to SIOP, ERP, and AI, and review a case study example.
Although there are plenty of issues related to the War in Iran, from a supply chain perspective, the key issue is that the Strait of Hormuz has been blocked. This supply chain chokepoint is limiting the movement of energy. We discuss take aways related to demand, supply, flow and location.
Lisa Anderson is highlighting vulnerabilities in global supply chains as the recent conflict involving Iran creates ripple effects across global trade, energy markets and critical manufacturing components.
In this Supply Chain Byte, Lisa Anderson explains why the Iran conflict and the Strait of Hormuz matter to manufacturers. As one of the most critical shipping chokepoints in the world, disruptions in this region can impact global trade, energy supply and transportation costs.
