THE DETAILS THAT DEFINE AN EXCEPTIONAL SUPPLY CHAIN STRATEGY
THE DEVIL IS ALWAYS IN THE DETAIL We speak to Archita Prasad , VP at UPS Capital , about why firms simply can ’ t afford to neglect last mile sustainability as they pursue their environmental targets . The final stretch can come at the greatest cost in terms of efficiency and to the planet . Nari Viswanathan , Senior Director of Supply Chain Strategy at Coupa explores with us the art of supplier relationship management . Nari argues how SRM isn ’ t an area as well developed in many organisations compared to areas like risk management . Again , it is a crucial detail not to be overlooked . In our feature on warehouse management systems , it unpacks how so many smaller responsibilities are crucial within that ecosystem , and how modern technology can optimise that operation . Tim Macholz , Director of the Global Technology Group at Houlihan Lokey and Faki Saadi , Director of Sales UKI at SOTI both kindly demonstrate the impact visibility over every detail can revolutionise that aspect of your supply operation . If wonderful analogies are your thing , make sure you don ’ t miss our interview with Vanessa Clemendot , CSCO for North America at L ’ Oréal . She describes her role as ‘ orchestrating the intricate dance of our North American supply chain ’ and in her role she wears the hats of both the ‘ conductor and choreographer ’. It is managing that symphony of details at every stage of the supply chain that can create success for both the organisation and the customers they serve . And one detail for you not to overlook , is getting registered to come to Procurement and Supply Chain LIVE in London on 24-25 September . It is an outstanding line up of speakers already and is not to be missed . Enjoy !
