Functional silos define today’s supply chain organization. My first job was in manufacturing in the 1980’s. I cut my teeth on early forms of supply chain planning. Like me, the traditio nal supply chain leader, grew-up believing in functional excellence and inside-out processes.

I was on my way to Peru. Over the course of trip to Atlanta to connect to Peru, we began a discussion. For many years (1992-2001), I worked at Manugistics, a supply chain planning technology provider. It was refreshing for me today to talk to Adexa and see their fresh approach to supply chain planning.

In the last six months, in my travels, I have presented to supply chain teams in China, Belgium, France, Germany, Peru, Mexico, Netherlands, South Africa, Singapore, and the United Kingdom.

As I mentioned earlier this week, Amazon is continuing its course of supply chain innovation. Walmart has now removed rules requiring sellers on its marketplace website to be registered in the US in an attempt to close the e-commerce gap with Amazon and tap into China’s vast network of manufacturers.

However, the general public typically doesn’t understand how supply chains work, and many don’t even know how their box of cereal ends up on their grocery store shelf. The IEA predicts about a seven fold increase of such “green metals” by 2030. Copper and nickel would require $250-300bn in capex before 2030.
