Supply Chain Innovators

Lora Cecere, author of the recent best-seller Bricks Matter: The Role of Supply Chains in Building Market-Driven Differentiation returns to give us a few updates on the NRF BIG SHOW, and to talk about some of what she is seeing happening in supply chains today. Specifically, she shares with us why she believes we have reached the "end of the fairy tale" and explains why the supply chain problem has changed.  Dr Brady asked her to explain her view that ERPs are moving to the realm of legacy, and to explain what technologies she thinks will be critical as we move forward into the next 20 year to reduce operating margins, absorb volatility, and drive agility.

Alan Day joins us after a several year hiatus to talk about the latest in supplier relationship management.  Specifically, he talks about State of Flux's views on how to be a better customer to your supplier.    It's an interesting take, considering companies spend so much time focusing managing their relationships with customers, perhaps it is time they learned how to be better customers themselves!   Listen and learn more after the break. Much of what he talks about comes from the annual survey they conduct, and State of Flux would appreciate you going to their site, and taking their survey as well. Just visit their site and take the survey, on the right hand side of their page, or follow the links below:   Buyer side survey - http://www.stateofflux.co.uk/buyer2012srmsurvey Supplier side survey - http://www.stateofflux.co.uk/supplier2012srmsurvey Learn more about State of Flux, their reports, and their work, at www.stateofflux.co.uk Download:  Alan Day and State of Flux Media_URL:    00:00 Drupal.settings.mediafront = Drupal.settings.mediafront || {};jQuery.extend(Drupal.settings.mediafront, {"mediafront_podcastnodeplayer_2":{"id":"mediafront_podcastnodeplayer_2","debug":false,"disptime":0,"duration":0,"volume":80,"wmode":"transparent","preload":true,"autoplay":false,"autoload":true,"scrollMode":"auto","scrollSpeed":20,"showPlaylist":true,"vertical":true,"node":{"mediafiles":{"media":{"media":[{"path":"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/SCIT\/sctoday.net\/files\/audio\/31_StateofFlux2.mp3","extension":"mp3","filemime":"","class":"media","type":"audio","file":{"path":"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/SCIT\/sctoday.net\/files\/audio\/31_StateofFlux2.mp3"},"stream":"","mimetype":"audio\/mpeg","mediaType":"media"}]}},"title":"Alan Day and Supplier Relationship Management"},"playlist":"","pageLimit":10,"preset":"podcastnodeplayer","autoNext":true,"shuffle":false,"loop":false,"logo":"http:\/\/sctoday.net\/sites\/all\/modules\/mediafront\/players\/osmplayer\/player\/logo.png","swfplayer":"http:\/\/sctoday.net\/sites\/all\/modules\/mediafront\/players\/osmplayer\/player\/minplayer\/flash\/minplayer.swf","link":"http:\/\/www.mediafront.org","width":"100%","height":"450px","template":"default","playlistOnly":false,"disablePlaylist":true,"controllerOnly":true,"volumeVertical":true,"plugins":[]}}); Category: SCToday PodcastClick: Click on "Read More" to go listen or download the Podcast.

Lora Cecere takes time out of her busy schedule to talk with Dr Brady, and share her thoughts on the directions and challenges facing the supply chain and enterprise technologies.  She takes the time to talk about the need for systems to sense the activities from the outside, including consumers and suppliers, and evolution of systems, allowing for the sensing of supplier failures and demand data reducing latency in responses. She really challenges the listener, as she talks about a change of information flow no longer just flowing out from our organization.  As she said: The movement from the inside out to the outside in is a revolution not an evolution, a lot of the new forms of data that we are getting from devices across the supply chain ... can't just be stuffed into the enterprise applications. Lora helps draw the connection not only from typical retail type spaces to the Defense industry, the grocery industry and other significant,fragile, and complicated supply chains. It was a pleasure to hear her thoughts.  Learn more about Lora at her Supply Chain Shaman website .

Dr Brady caught up with Harley Feldman, the CEO and Founder of Seeonic.  RFID is growing in many areas now, and has overcome the initial resistance to this new technology.  Harley talks about the challenges retailers face, and the powerful benefit that RFID can provide in solving these challenges.   He points out that inventory accuracy is perhaps the biggest "win" for retailers.   I think people aren't very good counters--including myself... they get above 10 or 20 items and we just lose count. Harley shares the approach his company follows--not your typical handheld solution, so it even removes that labor piece. Listen in to the conversation, and by all means, leave your thoughts on what challenges your business faces and whether you think RFID is a viable choice today, and tomorrow.  Download now: Interview with Harley Feldman Media_URL:    00:00 Drupal.settings.mediafront = Drupal.settings.mediafront || {};jQuery.extend(Drupal.settings.mediafront, {"mediafront_podcastnodeplayer_5":{"id":"mediafront_podcastnodeplayer_5","debug":false,"disptime":0,"duration":0,"volume":80,"wmode":"transparent","preload":true,"autoplay":false,"autoload":true,"scrollMode":"auto","scrollSpeed":20,"showPlaylist":true,"vertical":true,"node":{"mediafiles":{"media":{"media":[{"path":"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/SCIT\/sctoday.net\/files\/audio\/29_Seeonic_1_0_0.mp3","extension":"mp3","filemime":"","class":"media","type":"audio","file":{"path":"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/SCIT\/sctoday.net\/files\/audio\/29_Seeonic_1_0_0.mp3"},"stream":"","mimetype":"audio\/mpeg","mediaType":"media"}]}},"title":"Interview with Harley Feldman, Seeonic"},"playlist":"","pageLimit":10,"preset":"podcastnodeplayer","autoNext":true,"shuffle":false,"loop":false,"logo":"http:\/\/sctoday.net\/sites\/all\/modules\/mediafront\/players\/osmplayer\/player\/logo.png","swfplayer":"http:\/\/sctoday.net\/sites\/all\/modules\/mediafront\/players\/osmplayer\/player\/minplayer\/flash\/minplayer.swf","link":"http:\/\/www.mediafront.org","width":"100%","height":"450px","template":"default","playlistOnly":false,"disablePlaylist":true,"controllerOnly":true,"volumeVertical":true,"plugins":[]}}); Category: SCToday PodcastClick: Click on "Read More" to go listen or download the Podcast.

In this episode of Supply Chain Innovations Today, Dr Brady had a chance To catch up with a former colleague, Dr. Todd Dewett.  They talk about the power of motivation (and the downside-demotivation) and how leaders should lead in collaborative environments.  The conversation is fast paced, and chock full of nuggets! If you don't get them all the first time, listen again, or just go get the transcript! He cuts to the chase in everything he says, and when asked about collaboration, he says:   If you are talking about getting people to take the risks associated with opening up and collaborating, feeling mutually motivated within a team in one organization, it's a tough enough conversation... When you want to build a trusting relationship, don't beat around the bush. Start talking about the risks that are at play and how the two of you can work together and mitigate them for each other. Dr. Dewett is an author, scholar, professor, speaker, radio show host, caffeine addict, tattoo aficionado, and Harley Davidson nut. He is the author of the Little Black Book of Leadership and the creator of Fuel4Leaders.com. He has consulted with, trained, spoken to, and coached thousands of professionals all over the country.   Download now: http://media.blubrry.com/SCIT/sctoday.net/files/audio/28_Dewett_1.mp3   Media_URL:    00:00 Drupal.settings.mediafront = Drupal.settings.mediafront || {};jQuery.extend(Drupal.settings.mediafront, {"mediafront_podcastnodeplayer_6":{"id":"mediafront_podcastnodeplayer_6","debug":false,"disptime":0,"duration":0,"volume":80,"wmode":"transparent","preload":true,"autoplay":false,"autoload":true,"scrollMode":"auto","scrollSpeed":20,"showPlaylist":true,"vertical":true,"node":{"mediafiles":{"media":{"media":[{"path":"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/SCIT\/sctoday.net\/files\/audio\/28_Dewett_1.mp3","extension":"mp3","filemime":"","class":"media","type":"audio","file":{"path":"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/SCIT\/sctoday.net\/files\/audio\/28_Dewett_1.mp3"},"stream":"","mimetype":"audio\/mpeg","mediaType":"media"}]}},"title":"Dr Dewett Talks about Motivation, Collaboration and Feedback"},"playlist":"","pageLimit":10,"preset":"podcastnodeplayer","autoNext":true,"shuffle":false,"loop":false,"logo":"http:\/\/sctoday.net\/sites\/all\/modules\/mediafront\/players\/osmplayer\/player\/logo.png","swfplayer":"http:\/\/sctoday.net\/sites\/all\/modules\/mediafront\/players\/osmplayer\/player\/minplayer\/flash\/minplayer.swf","link":"http:\/\/www.mediafront.org","width":"100%","height":"450px","template":"default","playlistOnly":false,"disablePlaylist":true,"controllerOnly":true,"volumeVertical":true,"plugins":[]}}); Category: SCToday PodcastClick: <B>Click on "Read More" to go listen or download the Podcast.</B>

 Following the interview with Paul Woodlief on CPFR, Dr. Brady wanted to continue the conversation--so they did!  In addition to the application of CPFR, the DLA and the USAF started exploring internal collaboration using the common and commercially accepted S&OP processes.  Paul talks about the additional benefits they found with S&OP and talks about the synergies he sees when combining S&OP and CPFR. To learn more about CPFR and how CPFR and S&OP will help drive savings and efficiencies in your organization, visit VICS--the Voluntary Inter-industry Commerce Solutions association.

The roots of Supply Chain Innovations Today go back to our founder's time in the US Air Force. In the Air Force, Dr Brady started as a logistician, working with the KC-135 and the FB-111A (and later the B1-B). During that time, and later at the Air Mobility Command as the Command's Reliability and Maintainability Manager, Dr Brady supported the operations and the modernization of the KC-135 aircraft.  Dr Brady had no problem stepping up to interview Paul Woodlief from the Defense Logistics Agency about the KC-135 and the continuing efforts between DLA and the USAF to support the airframe well into the middle of this new century. Not surprisingly, the Air Force and DLA found it necessary to apply the lessons and processes of the VICS Guidelines for Collaboration, Planning and Replenishment (CPFR) to meet the growing challenges of supporting the aging airframe.   Whether you are in the Department of Defense, or just want to learn about the value of collaboration, give this podcast a listen.

  Insights into Big Data Big Data is Big News, and we wanted to talk with one provider of a solution  that transforms big data into valuable information. "Competitive Insights is a software-as-a-service company focused on helping companies make fact-based decisions using their transactional data.  CI  provides them meaningful information that’s difficult for them to get as a result of having multiple operating systems and different ways that data can be structured.  We take the data as it exists in each of those operating environments.  We bring it together.  We cleanse it.  Then we provide it back to them in different functional views, so that they can, in fact, make better decisions to reduce costs and increase the profitability of the operation."
