Core Themes of the Podcast
The joy of podcasting is being able to share connections and winning strategies from amazing practitioners with others.
We’ll be talking about real life issues or experiences that have happened, how some people have overcome those challenges, and how some have learned from their mistakes — from warehouse equipment, staffing, construction, logistics, warehousing, routing, to leading. Laughing and learning all the way!
Reviewing different technologies & processes:
What impact does technology have on a company? How can it effect culture and effectiveness?
What causes implementation to go well in 99% of the cases?
What drives supply chain integrity and engagement?
What types of TMS, WMS, ERP, PIM or other systems are essential for a business today? Do you need the “bells & whistles” version or the scaled back version?
How do you create a high performance warehouse team that shows up and exceeds goals?
Why is it so important to connect the sales pipeline information to your supply chain?
Most importantly, why is supply chain team coaching so important today? (Engagement & Continuous Improvement)
