The Critical New Role of Supplier Relationships in Highly Efficient Supply Chains

A SEAT at THE TABLE: Conversations with Today's Top Industry Leaders

Supply chain management has become both an art and a science, with executives tasked with building more resiliency, while also increasing flexibility, reducing lead times, and jumping through hoops to comply with increasingly complex regulations - which, adding to the confusion, are different in different markets.
No wonder one most people talk about improving supply chains - but very few actually do. Realistically, it’s difficult enough to simply manage existing systems, without having to try and introduce new ones.
Today we’re joined by Dean Clegg, a supply chain consultant who previously was the Global Sourcing Director at Sainsbury, where he lead a complex supply chain through both the pandemic and the transition to Brexit. Prior to that, Dean led the successful integration of Argos stores into Sainsbury’s.
In this episode Dean will be discussing:
- How to become more efficient and reduce lead times
- Determining the right technology to optimize your supply chain
- The game-changing importance of building seamless supplier relationships.
- Rethinking how we reduce waste to achieve greater sustainability
