It’s easy to vilify corporations for their inattention to eco-friendly or green initiatives. As consumers, we often use commitment to sustainability as a key factor in making buying decisions. However, these large organizations exist for one primary purpose: to deliver goods to us, the consumers. These corporations can optimize sustainability in their efforts to get product to us, but when it’s time to return a product, consumers have very little control over the shipping process beyond dropping a box off at a shipping point.

Consumers tend to focus on ethically sourced raw materials and fair trade standards when making determinations about sustainability, but there are other factors in play.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThere is no doubt that blockchain is here to stay. In this latest episode of Rethinking Supply Chain, host John Abrams, CEO of Venzee, and Diana Chen continue the conversation about blockchain in supply chain. The discussion began back in Episode 23 featuring guest Sean Copeland, founder of Boex. In this episode, Diana notes that there are some out there who believe blockchain is overrated and won’t live up to the hype when it comes to deploying this technology in supply chain. John disagrees with this notion for several reasons. First, as of today, blockchain has a very narrow use case in supply chain. Blockchain has an abundance of potential, but we’re still very early in the process of developing tools to leverage it effectively. Why is it important to not underestimate the power of blockchain? Many technologies that have foundational elements to them are difficult to imagine at scale. John remembers how back in 1990, HTML was in its early stages of testing and development. At that time, it was difficult for many to see how this type of technology could be applicable in a range of circumstances. Given that we still have websites today, clearly the hype was not misplaced. The same can potentially be expected of blockchain. It’s still new, and still difficult to imagine how it could potentially impact all types of companies, jobs, and processes. Listen to this new episode to hear more about how groundbreaking technologies can transform over the years into something we all know and use every day, and for John’s predictions for how blockchain might begin to take hold in supply chain strategy.

In this latest episode of Rethinking Supply Chain, host John Abrams, CEO of Venzee, and Diana Chen look forward by looking back. They revisit podcast Episode 23 (featuring guest Sean Copeland, founder of Boex) and discuss how blockchain technologies can benefit the supply chain. John takes a few minutes to review the nature of online transactions historically - for many years, nearly everything could be audited and traced. Every device on the internet has an identifier. You can even track web traffic in your own home with the right software. In terms of supply chain, John discusses how virtually all of global trade today is based on the possession of physical things. Companies are responsible for items they possess, such as when those items are on company-owned trucks or stored in a company’s warehouse. Blockchain technology has the potential to change the way supply chain and logistics practitioners use this type of data by providing visibility to the movement of a product beyond physical barriers.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIn this new episode of Rethinking Supply Chain, John Abrams, CEO of Venzee, and Diana Chen take a look back at some key takeaways from Episode 35 featuring guest Phil Renaud , Executive Director of the Risk Institute at The Ohio State University. As Phil shared in that episode, nobody really builds a “just in case” or secondary supply chain. It seems reasonable if not obvious that organizations should have a backup supply chain, but how does that look in reality? John agrees. He and Diana discuss the myriad of reasons why a “just in case” supply chain never really works. When existing relationships with vendors or service providers suddenly become unavailable, it’s nearly impossible to simply pick another vendor and keep things moving. This hasn’t stopped supply chain and logistics teams from dreaming up secondary supply chains for the benefit of executives who want them, but unless those paths are routinely exercised and active, they will fall short in the event of a major disruption (much like we’ve seen with COVID-19). Listen to this new episode to learn new strategies for building flexibility and resiliency into the supply chain.

In the latest episode of Rethinking Supply Chain, John Abrams, CEO of Venzee, and Diana Chen discuss how different organizations plan for the unexpected. The problem isn’t a lack of planning. Rather, John believes, the problem is that plans don’t necessarily incorporate the level of resiliency and flexibility required to cope with even the most fundamental challenges. For example, many organizations made the massive switch to work-from-home relatively smoothly. Others were suddenly faced with what to do about desktop computers that couldn’t be moved, missing contact information for key employees, and even access to documents or files that were only available on company networks.

In this episode of Rethinking Supply Chain, John Abrams, CEO of Venzee and Diana Chen continue unpacking the challenges associated with digitizing the supply chain. John identifies common ways entities at varying stages of the supply chain work to optimize their own processes. For example, a simple barcoding system might transform the operations of a singular warehouse, but if that data doesn’t factor in what happens to that product before it arrives and after it leaves, we’re missing huge opportunities to create more efficient logistics systems and better experiences for the end consumer.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIn this episode of Rethinking Supply Chain, guest Greg White of Supply Chain Now and Kubera Venture Capital returns to discuss the changing nature of supply chain technologies with John Abrams, CEO of Venzee, and Diana Chen. Greg begins by addressing the misconception that most aspects of the supply chain are already digitized and identifies key areas where even small-scale disruptions in manual efforts (such as labor strikes or work-from-home orders) can impact processes far down the road. Greg and John identify a common mistake organizations make in their digitization efforts--they digitize in silos. They implement various software platforms at different stages of the supply chain, and often these platforms don’t integrate. There is no visibility between stages of transport. Why is this important? Greg believes that the supply chain isn’t just about moving product. It’s a vehicle for communication. It’s how companies build brand equity, satisfy consumer demand, and deliver a positive customer experience whether it’s buying, repairing, or returning. Without digital integration and transparency between each step, companies can miss out on delivering even more value for the consumer. [Follow on Social] Listeners can connect with Greg on LinkedIn .

1 The Next Step: Aligning Supply Chain Technologies with the Business 21:04

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIs there really a technological silver bullet that can help you solve all of your supply chain problems? In this episode of Rethinking Supply Chain, guest Greg White joins hosts John Abrams, CEO of Venzee, and Diana Chen to discuss the past, present, and future of supply chain tech. Greg is Principal and Host for Supply Chain Now podcast, as well as a Venture Partner for Kubera Venture Capital. As a result of the global pandemic, supply chain challenges and innovations are making headlines around the world. Greg explores this new phenomenon by first reflecting on his early career investing in supply chain technologies and how his perspective has evolved over the years. As an investor, he built his early career looking for the “next big thing,” only to realize that few new technologies will have that level of impact. Why? Greg advises that the strategic goals of the business are key to choosing the right technologies. Supply chain is far more than moving something from Point A to Point B. It’s a critical facet of brand identity, customer experience, and organizational values such as sustainability and fair trade. Can organizations accomplish all this with just one platform?

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIn this episode of Rethinking Supply Chain, Venzee CEO, John Abrams, catches up with Diana Chen to get into some topics that were mentioned in previous guest episodes. They begin the conversation by looking back at swarm robotics and dark factories. John explains the basics of physical supply chain logistics, beginning in the warehouse. He describes cross-docks and how pallets get broken down for distribution. Traditionally, pickers scan deliveries in the cross-docks and then take them to the truck that will continue the supply chain. With swarm robotics and dark factories, the entire process can be automated, allowing for continuous turnover at lower energy levels and less cost to human capital. John and Diana then shift the conversation by reviewing some previous episodes. John noticed that some younger guests from previous episodes were surprised at how low-tech most of today’s supply chain models still are. He shares some anecdotal evidence of the simple models that are still being used despite the technology available today.…

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIn this episode of Rethinking Supply Chain, Venzee CEO, John Abrams, and Diana Chen delve more deeply into the future of supply chain management. In a previous episode, John expressed his frustration with how the supply chain is still operating as it has for the past five decades, and this episode counters that bleakness with a more positive outlook on where he thinks things are heading. John introduces a group called the Futurists that leans into supply chain management and consults companies to help them integrate the Internet of Things (IoT) into their operations. The Futurists are explaining how IoT allows automation across all links in the supply chain, improving efficiency. People studying the future of supply chain management are focusing their research on demand patterns, QR codes, dark factories, radio frequency identification (RFID), swarm robotics, and real time transportation visibility. John gets into some of the details of dark factories -- factories that are machine-based that don’t need lighting. He explains how factories operating with automation can better operate at their ideal capacity based on demand patterns. John ends on a high note with an optimistic feeling of hope that working culture in the United States will embrace the new trends in supply chain logistics. While the U.S. labor culture is somewhat behind other countries when it comes to supply chain automation, there are people who are working to change attitudes and increase efficiency at home.…

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIn this episode of the Rethinking Supply Chain podcast, Venzee CEO, John Abrams reconnects with Phil Renaud, Executive Director of The Risk Institute at the Ohio State University Fisher College of Business, to continue their conversation about supply chain resilience. John starts the episode by bringing up three points that stood out to him while participating in a global conference that Phil’s organization hosted. First, resilience matters, second we’re generally lacking when it comes to planning for low-probability events, and third, nobody builds ‘just-in-case’ supply chains. In most cases, companies outsource portions of the supply chain, and generally, it is to a single service provider. In this conversation, John asks Phil about how to develop the ‘just-in-case’ contingency plans to stay ahead of the game. Phil shares his experience working in retail to provide some ways in which supply chain stakeholders can plan for one-off disruptions. He describes some of the difficult conversations that executives may need to have when it comes to discussing the fragility of supply chain networks. Although the cost has gone down, companies tend to rely on a single distributor, and that model may need to change as unique disruptions continue to occur.
