Welcome to another insightful episode of the Digital Supply Chain podcast! Today, I had the pleasure of chatting with Michael Farlekas, the CEO of e2open, and he had a wealth of knowledge to share.

From the get-go, we dived deep into the crucial role that data accuracy plays in today's supply chain processes. Michael made it clear that having the right data is like the oxygen that keeps the supply chain system alive and running smoothly.

We also talked about the increasing importance of AI in supply chain management and how it's changing the game in predicting and meeting supply chain needs. Michael has some fascinating insights on this,

Next, we ventured into the future – quantum computing. Michael enlightened us on the potentials of this groundbreaking technology, predicting it to be the next big leap in handling massive amounts of data for more efficient decision-making.

Next we explored the idea of geographic diversity in supply chains. As industries worldwide are realizing the risks of relying on a single region, the concept of supply chain resilience has become more important than ever. Michael shared his thoughts on this trend and its implications for future supply chains.

In closing, we touched on the increasing trend of diversified manufacturing, especially highlighted by recent developments such as Foxconn's plant in India. It's a change that promises to foster resiliency and improve living standards in underdeveloped economies.

Whether you're a supply chain veteran or just curious about the field, there's something in this episode for you. So why wait? Dive right in and join us for this exploration of the digital supply chain universe.
