💡 Supply chain disruptions, policy changes, and tariffs—navigating these challenges requires more than just stockpiling inventory or ramping up headcount. From my experience working alongside our customers, the recent Forbes article by Edward Segal, CAE suggests solutions that will only inflate capital expenditures and workforce demands without addressing the root issues. Instead, forward-thinking companies are choosing smarter strategies to stay ahead: ✅ Implement workflows and tools to better manage and baseline the increasing number and diversity (e.g., geolocation) of suppliers. ✅ Leverage AI to enhance visibility, predict disruptions, and automate key supply chain decisions. ✅ Focus on inventory efficiency, turning stock faster instead of creating unnecessary bottlenecks with excessive stockpiles. Implementing strategic processes and tooling (like Leverage AI) can help organizations seamlessly execute on all three of these critical strategies—reducing costs, improving efficiency, and staying ahead of disruptions. How is your organization preparing to thrive in this evolving landscape? #SupplyChain #Automation #LeverageAI #Efficiency #Innovation https://lnkd.in/erWmgdvW
