For most companies, the entire Supply Chain Planning Process was established based on INSIDE OUT thinking. So, chances are your supply chain planning may be as well. Most planning functions – especially for manufacturing businesses – are centered around answering the question of “what can we make, move and deliver?” and put your factory or production network at the center. These plans focus on cadence-based, batch-driven processing with a bias towards long & efficient production runs across a dedicated network of available capacity. However, today's industry leading supply chains have transformed from INSIDE OUT to OUTSIDE IN strategies that drive a competitive advantage and increase agility and resilience.Additional Links & Resources:Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.comCheck out our new Supply Chain Now Media Kit: https://bit.ly/3zKRLyLSubscribe to Supply Chain Now and all other Supply Chain Now programs: https://supplychainnow.com/subscribeLeveraging Logistics and Supply Chain for Ukraine: https://vectorgl.com/stand-with-ukraine/2022 Q2 U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index: https://freight.usbank.comWEBINAR- Case Study: How Crocs Digitized their Financial Supply Chain: https://bit.ly/3wmLpVdWEBINAR- Better Business Outcomes with Blockchain: Digital Document Provenance: https://bit.ly/3ch6YQyWEBINAR- Why Choose Between Reducing Risk or Optimizing Costs? https://bit.ly/3KkCN7FThis episode is hosted by Karin Bursa.
