As technology, automation, and robotics continue to reshape entire industries, the digital supply chain is emerging as a powerful force for driving efficiency, visibility, and resilience in an uncertain world. Powered by advanced technologies that support real-time visibility into inventory levels, transportation routes and customer demand, businesses can more effectively anticipate disruptions, make data-driven decisions and optimize their existing resources.
With the labor shortage still in full force on the warehousing, logistics and transportation front, companies must also equip employees with the right skills and tools—all while fostering a culture of innovation and empowering individuals to drive change. That means training on emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), leveraging user-friendly software that streamlines workflows and taking other steps to become the “employer of choice” in this labor-constrained environment.
For the 2024 Supply Chain Outlook Virtual Summit, the editors of Logistics Management and Supply Chain Management Review present sessions that offer modern strategies and automated solutions. The sessions encapsulate the most practical tips on evaluating, implementing and leveraging tools to streamline operations, future-proof operations and prepare for what’s coming next. Here’s a synopsis of each presentation along with its core messages and valuable takeaways.
