In our blog last month, we discussed how the automotive industry must learn this time from yet another semiconductor shortage by improving management of essential supply chain processes or we will find ourselves in another shortage crisis.

These interesting times that we are currently living through have thrown open a lot of challenges. Organizations and decision-makers must be agile and innovative to overcome the challenges that COVID-19 has thrown at us. In India, we had 2 lockdown periods in the last 15 months. Being a supply chain student, I try to watch and analyze day-to-day situations with a lot of interest and I see one area that needs improvement when lockdowns are implemented.

With national and global economies slowly recovering and some semblance of normalcy returning to many areas of life, the focus and reliance on gig contract workers do not seem to be slowing down at all.

Organizational collaboration. It’s no cakewalk – at least, not in the context of integrated business planning (IBP). Indeed, perhaps the best way to understand the role of collaboration – literally, laboring together – in establishing a mature IBP discipline is to set aside modern, softer connotations of the word and recall that labor comes down to us through Middle English and Old French from the Latin for “toil and trouble.”.

The digital twin of your supply chain must accurately reflect both the shape as well as behavior of your supply chain. In the absence of this you end up with a rough model of the supply chain. Rough models deliver rough results in your financial projections, commitment to end customers and making the right response when a disruption occurs. S&OP modeling is one step above spreadsheet modeling, what you are trying to get away from.
