Recently on CitiBiz, Nulogy Chief Marketing & Industry Officer, Christine Barnhart, sat down with business writer, Dan Calabrese, to discuss the state of the supply chain industry and Nulogy’s adaptive technologies allowing for multi-party collaboration with real-time visibility and synchronization.
Interview questions:
1. What are the resilience benefits of actually having common goals and constant working relationships – not just talking about planning – with brand manufacturers, suppliers, and outsourced partners such as contract manufacturers and co-packers?
2. How important is it still to multi-source suppliers?
3. With the substantial resources that companies allocate to their supply chain operations, has managing these complex networks become more straightforward over time?
4. The industry continuously evolves and presents new challenges at a pace that often outpaces our ability to adapt, leaving us in a constant state of trying to catch up. What should supply chain leaders do to become more proactive in the overall manufacturing process, from operations to communication?
5. How do manufacturers avoid the ERP trap and implement the multi-enterprise systems needed to facilitate high fidelity collaboration and data exchange within supply chain ecosystems?
6. How can organizations lay the groundwork for more interconnected, interoperable supply chain networks that foster the collaboration and data exchange needed to move as one?
