Workforce and Talent ManagementBogen Communications - Director, Facility and Warehouse Operations
As the market for talented employees continues to tighten, company leaders must develop creative ways to keep great employees (and even the good ones) from leaving. Higher pay helps; but do you really want a team made up of people who are “just here for the money?” Instead, understand why people leave, create a culture that develops talent, and find ways to align individual and organizational goals. You will soon find yourself with a happy team that drives success on their own.

Transportation Management Strategies to Reduce CostsSKLZ - Senior Director Global Supply Chain
As more retailers lose market share to e-commerce companies, brands and original equipment manufacturers will need to strengthen their supply chain and become more connected, get closer to the consumer, to lower costs, ensure on time delivery and capture as much of the marketplace as possible. To do so companies need to understand their true costs, have visibility into network inventory, use the right tools for inventory and freight optimization and deliver on their promises to end consumers. All this is possible with strategy, connectivity, visibility, and strong partners and systems.
Key Take-Aways:
Planning for the real customer- end consumer, is different than traditional planning for retail marketplace. E-planning is reinventing inventory optimization.
Ensure that all your supply chain partners invest in systems, provide visibility and create a combined data strategy with shared KPIs.
Supply chain must become part of the long term brand development strategy and a tool for competitive advantage.
Diversity in the logistics network and supply chain, with strong partners will help brands service the consumer better, faster and cheaper ensuring no loss of market-share to online retailers such as Amazon. Customers want to stay true to the brand they trust- companies can strengthen this through supply chain.
Optimal supplier relationships drive greater value through partnerships and win-win mindset. A well-thought out SRM methodology and a robust SRM framework is key to future success. Risk management is a critical component of SRM and continuous improvement with a focus on innovation drives productivity. A collaborative approach towards governance with clear R&R and accountability drives results and helps patients/clients get the right products at the right time at the right cost.
Key Take-Aways:
