Transforming Supply Chains: Sustainability, Automation, and Beyond

In today's episode of the Digital Supply Chain podcast I'm joined by two leading experts from the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP), Mark Baxa and Kevin Smith, for an inspiring chat on all things supply chain, as well as a look into the future of the industry.We dive into a rich discussion on how crucial supply chains are to our society and the role they play in shaping it. Both Mark and Kevin believe in the power of continuous learning and improvement to shape the future of the supply chain industry. And trust me, their enthusiasm is infectious!But what's a chat on supply chains without a bit of technology talk, right? We delve into how emerging technologies like AI, machine learning, and automation are not only enhancing efficiency but are also driving sustainability in the industry. Don't worry, though, we're not forgetting about the human element! We delve into the importance of the human role in decision-making amidst the rise of automation.We've also got some great insights on the changing demographics of the workforce and how that affects supply chains. And of course, we discuss the exciting possibilities and challenges AI brings, especially when it comes to making sense of internet data.As we explore the role of CSCMP in fostering continuous learning, and the journey of supply chain improvements, we make it abundantly clear: the journey is just as important as the destination.So come join us on this journey and gain insights from these two passionate industry leaders, and remember, just like Leonardo da Vinci, we're all still learning!
