When the United States had a massive infant formula shortage, families were under duress, especially those with babies under one. Anyone who has provided care to an infant knows that baby formula is as much an essential as toilet paper. The need for more resilient supply chains and better demand forecasting was becoming more essential. With the rise of companies looking to implement AI into their supply chains, more accurate forecasts are within reach.

Smarter, Not Harder: How to Climb Every Peak in Supply Chain Planning Supply chain planning is like a grand mountaineering expedition. Every step is meticulously mapped out to manage immediate needs and challenges while uncovering and navigating intricate risks hidden within each layer. But instead of reaching just one peak, supply chain planners must climb four – service, inventory, cost, and sustainability.

3PL Selection—don’t let your people be penny wise and pound foolish Are you looking at the big picture when you select a 3PL — do they fit with your supply chain strategy? Third Party Logistics providers (3PLs) are many and diverse. Supply chain organizations often find themselves comparing price differences of 1–2% in service offerings, and they are missing the opportunity to save 5–15% in real costs. 3PL selection is a supply chain decision and an optimization opportunity.

In many cases, supply chain surprises manifest from poor visibility. Reliance on historical data can limit an organization’s ability to sense possible exposure to disruption that can impact everything from minor irregularities to extreme shifts in demand. This is especially the case when past or current circumstances do not indicate what will actually happen in the future.

Although inflation has slowed since then, it continued to climb in January 2023 , triggering fears that the Fed could keep raising interest rates throughout 2023. On the other hand, a slowdown in inflation could mean prices will gradually stabilize and we’ll avoid a recession. What does all of this mean for manufacturers and distributors?

The traditional formula of minimizing costs and maximizing efficiency is no longer enough – instead, tradeoffs need to be made. Higher costs are an unfortunate reality in the current supply chain environment, and they’re likely to persist despite attempts to contain costs in areas that can be controlled. This realization for supply chain leaders creates new questions about which strategies can genuinely optimize their operations while offsetting changing demand and supply disruption.
