Season 4 – Pod 001 – ALAS! 5 – Cubic Melons & Supply Chain Sustainability!

We have another in the ALAS! series of podcasts with Keith Holdsworth of Perception Group.

We are following a track of understanding how future supply chains can become more sustainable, the trade-off of working capital against sustainability, the impact of poor forecasting on sustainability, whether we are delivering to “want” or “need” criteria, whether it is more sustainable to collect from a retailer or deliver to your home, the value of having an eCommerce “green button,” collaborative e-Fulfilment, and cubic melons!  

How predictable are our demands across the supply chain really are and how is the predictability improving could completely remodel our supply chains?We managed to touch Keith’s raw nerve (no supply chain professionals were injured in this podcast!)

We conclude with considering the desirability of “slackness” in supply chains and the need for us to ask Super Human questions of the technology that supports supply chains. 

We hope you enjoy the podcast, feel free to interact, challenge and support.

Final question: Chips or Fries? Which is better?

Final Final Question: Did we only mention AI once?
