Getting Started with Supply Chain Design

Getting Started with Supply Chain Design
With FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) embroiling global supply chains, leaders must be proactive and intentional in assessing their supply chains and designing them for the future. But how to start? Ralph Asher of Data Driven Supply Chain LLC will discuss how to get started in supply chain design and answer common questions. This talk will equip organizations to embark on their supply chain design journey, future-proof their supply chains, and build competitive moats.
This session will dive into addressing the following questions:
- How does supply chain design differ from supply chain planning and optimization?
- What are some of the strategic questions that we can answer with supply chain design?
- What data do we need to get started in supply chain design? (Hint: much less than you may think!)
- How do we measure ROI in supply chain design projects?
- Should we build an internal team or use consultants for supply chain design projects?
- Commercial software vs. open-source software: what are the pros and cons for supply chain design?
