SUPPLY CHAIN RISKS & RESPONSIBILITIES

Managing supply chains is a colossal responsibility. The supply chain directly impacts the customer experience, the share price, employee engagement, brand reputation and importantly the bottom line. Leading a business which can have significant effect on our customers’ business’s means we have to show up every day, get it right first time, every time. We also have to be ambassadors of change, innovation and improvement. We have to understand their business inside and out. We have to know when to accept an initiative and when to challenge it. That’s not left up to our senior leadership team; it’s all 3,200+ of us. Saul Resnick, CEO, DHL Supply Chain shares his perspective on the supply chain in this exclusive webinar.

ALIGNING COMPANY OBJECTIVES AND STOCK PLACEMENT

Putting the right stock at the right place at the right time has been the supply planner enigma for as long as we can remember. What is the right balance between the stores’ inventory and the central warehouse? What should be the frequency in which we replenish our stores? What are the minimum quantities we should stock and replenish in? Is there a golden rule we can apply to this problem?

Well the right answer is – it all depends! Different business will have different objectives in terms of revenue, service levels, business growth and market share, regulation and contractual obligations to name a few. Each business must align its inventory planning with its business strategy which will be different in each case.

Join us to hear from Mark Watson - Group Forecasting/Planning Manager at the Inenco Group – on his personal journey and key learnings while answering these questions and designing the processes and systems to support the Inenco Group goals and strategies.

Learn how to measure and track goals, as well as problem solving techniques for:

• Support warehouses • Fair share logic for low level stock • Automatic excess movements • Auto release of replenishments and external purchases to increase productivity • Supplier relationships
