    Leveraging Big Data for Supply Chain Business Intelligence Insights with Paul Bingham, Director of Transportation Consulting, IHS Markit Now Part of S&P Global

    How long does a relationship with an information/analytics firm lasts❓ For Paul Bingham, Director of Transportation Consulting for IHS Markit Now Part of S&P Global, it might depend on the kind of goals the client has. Some have definite goals that can be addressed depending on budget, level of effort, etc. while others remain as ongoing relationships where Paul and their team continue to work together to help improve their client's service or features. 🎧 Don't miss out on this insight and more. Listen to our podcast now! “Some of those changes can be matched up to a company's budget years, pretty readily. We can scale the level of effort and the type of work to match iteratively, really to match the appetite of a company and their management to do that so that they're not biting off more than they can chew in terms of how much they're trying to change their current supply chain profile and the current way that they serve their customers. And maybe align it over several years, even. If it's going to be a major effort, it may be one where you can lay that out with a strategic plan to say, "Okay, in year one, we're going to attempt to do this. And in year two, depending upon the results of that, we'll attempt to..." Additional increment in the sophistication and complexity and so forth. And then really for some of the greatest relationships we have, it's an ongoing relationship where it really doesn't have an end to it, that we're providing information, we're getting feedback from our customers in terms of what's proved to be relevant for them, where they would like some enhancement, perhaps in terms of the level of information or the speed with which it's being updated, or perhaps sometimes adding to some of the metrics that are being provided in terms of additional information that can be found useful for those particular companies.”

    How ASML Leverages Supply Chain in their Phased NPI Process to Shorten the Time-to-Market Cycle Time with Nicole Engelman, Director of Planning & Logistics at ASML

    How can you successfully implement a phased supplier management process? For Nicole Engelman, Director of Planning and Logistics at ASML, the key is to always involve your supplier earlier in the process. This gives them the opportunity to be part of the solution early on, and not having to force fit something in the later stage of development. Don't miss out on this insight and more. Listen to our podcast now! "If we involve the supplier earlier in the process, we prevent having to reengineer things that could have been ironed out with more frequent communication. This helps the manufacturer better and faster. While they're part of the design, we can start to release requirements that they can act on before the design is even finished." – Nicole Engelman, Director of Planning & Logistics at ASML

With clarity, it just becomes a better way of decision-making because you see the whole picture." - Craig Adderley, Distribution and Logistics Leader at Stryker Endoscopy

    How Blockchain Can Streamline Logistics - with Dr. Karl Wunderlich, Director of Surface Transportation, Noblis

    "We are very interested in how machines, without necessarily a lot of human intervention or minimal human intervention, can actually do this negotiation themselves to allocate who gets access to various spots within the center for loading and offloading. In the maneuver, it is getting from the gate to that location safely and with respect to the limitations of any of the vehicles: their turning radius, their ability to back up and do particular kinds of maneuvers. It ensures that all of that happens efficiently and safely. That is our application that we're working on now. It's this tight maneuver transaction, smart transaction between relatively autonomous trucks and other vehicles that ensures all the stuff gets moved as quickly as possible. It is subject to the urgency as dictated by the supply chain and by the ability of the individual entities that operate these machines to place a value on what it means to be first in line that day or to getting access to a specific loading or unloading zone." - Dr. Karl Wunderlich, Director of Surface Transportation, Noblis
