  The supply chain management landscape has undergone a massive transformation recently, rendering the traditional "fax" approach obsolete. In light of this, companies are gravitating towards digital solutions, which not only streamline the entire process but also help sustain market competitiveness. The old-school methods of communication channels were heavily reliant on paper, resulting in significant inefficiencies, errors, and time delays, which were avoided with the implementation of automated solutions such as email, EDI, and other digital communication channels.

Imagine an adrenaline-filled pilot of a WWII fighter plane with battle scars limping back to base. What enabled the pilot to return safely? Engineers carefully inspected the returned planes and improved the areas where they found gunfire holes. As the person responsible for managing the fighter plane disruption problem, would you rely on the data you see to define mitigation actions, such as reinforcing the plane where holes were spotted, to protect your soldiers and pilots? Would you comfortably make informed decisions based on the accurate and available data you have seen? The challenge lies in human beings' tendency to be biased toward what they see, causing them to discard what they don't see easily. WWII fighter plane engineers taught us a valuable lesson. If they had analyzed the planes that did NOT make it back to the home base, they would have likely come to different conclusions. However, the challenge of obtaining data from the planes that didn't return must be ac...

  Although headline inflation has fallen in most economies in recent months, core inflation remains stubbornly high.

I'm sure you agree: "You don't know what Supply Chain Sustainability (SCS) means, but it sounds like a good idea." Supply chain sustainability is like saying, "I'm going to start eating healthily" - it sounds great on paper, but when you get down to it, what does "eating healthily" mean? And how do we know if the food is healthy? Sustainable supply chains emerged as a response to consumer demand for better information about the environmental impact of products, such as food and clothing, that they purchase. According to research, 80% of consumers indicate sustainability is crucial to them. Yet another survey from IBM says 57% of CEOs identify unclear ROI (return on investment) as a leading sustainability challenge. Do you know what's the most sustainable thing a company can do? That's right: nothing. Seriously though, that's not a wrong answer—you must be careful about defining "sustainability." The United Nations defines ...
