Talking Supply Chain: Is today’s supply chain model DOA?

Welcome to today’s episode of Talking Supply Chain: Is today’s supply chain model DOA? Steve Bowen, CEO of the consulting firm Maine Pointe, discusses research his firm conducted with Michigan State University on the future of supply chain management. SCMR editorial director Bob Trebilcock moderates.

The title of this episode aside, perhaps the death of supply chain management has been exaggerated, to paraphrase Mark Twain. But, supply chain is evolving, and savvy supply chain managers are going to need to evolve their processes and practices to keep up.

Bowen discusses the steps supply chain managers, the C-Suite and company boards need to take to build supply chains that can meet the business requirements of the future and prepare for the next unexpected disruption.
