Global supply chains are currently grappling with multiple pressures, including geopolitical instability, rising costs, shifting customer expectations, climate-related disasters, and ongoing disruption. At the same time, the past three years have ushered in a new age of automation, driven by advances in artificial intelligence, advanced analytics, and connected intelligence. While supply chain solution providers have long used automation and analytics, a central question remains: how are they supporting customers as global supply chains continue to operate in a persistent state of disruption?
At the 30th annual ARC Advisory Group Leadership Forum, taking place on February 10 at 4 pm (Track 4), I will be leading a 90-minute session focused on some of the most pressing challenges facing the global supply chain industry today. The session will include a panel of industry leaders and a featured presentation from the Vice President of Global Supply Chain at Avantor, a US-based pharmaceutical and chemical company.
Attendees will engage in a discussion with industry professionals, exploring practical approaches to addressing the operational and strategic challenges their customers face.
Key discussion points will cover how leaders are:
Leveraging AI and decision intelligence to improve forecasting and planning.
Building more resilient supplier networks.
Optimizing logistics and execution operations.
Preventing waste through smarter procurement strategies.
Preparing the workforce for rapid technological change.
