I've been working in operations and supply chain management (SCM) as a thought leader, on the job physical and digital product operations leader and as an individual contributor for over 20 years. I love the daily challenge of understanding the complexity of operations and supply chain and developing simplified solutions that build operational excellence over time.
The world is digitizing, as are supply chain operations. This doesn't singularly apply to being able to deliver a digital good online (e.g. book, movie), it's about all the work going on to (for example) automate a traditional supply chain planning and fulfillment process (which sits behind every amazon order you click):
- How should we use technology and hire to deliver conventional Source, Make, Deliver operations faster and better?
- What does it take to move operations to the cloud as a Software as a Service (SaaS) model without disrupting service levels?
- We've been automating operations for years, what is the next leap in current technology that makes it faster, better and worth the effort
Digitization requires a merger of new technology with traditional processes. I can help answer:
- Questions about how to start (develop a value proposition)
- Employee skills development required for digital operations
- How to manage process Integration with data center operations (Oracle Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure)
- Develop an understanding of emerging tech impact on supply chain of the future
- How to evolve innovative tool use for supply chain improvement
I have a fundamental understanding of how this transformation starts and progresses.
I also know that Anaplan is a leader in all technology areas required to guide your journey.
