AI-powered drone automation is helping warehouses reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve inventory accuracy, and lower operational waste, demonstrating how inventory management can become a meaningful driver of supply chain sustainability. scmr.com/article/ai-pow…

Supply chain managers talk about being in the business of supply. But, how many actually practice that? First, you need to understand what the phrase means, and then you need to implement it across your organization. scmr.com/article/what-i…

The battle for #lastmile dominance is no longer about retail alone, but about which #AI driven #logistics network can most effectively balance automation, labor, consumer behavior, and fulfillment economics. #Amazon #Walmart #ecommerce scmr.com/article/the-fi…

Organizations that achieve strong C-suite synchronization through integrated business planning, aligned leadership behaviors, and enterprise-wide visibility are better positioned to turn strategy into consistent operational execution. scmr.com/article/c-suit…

The closure of the #StraitofHormuz is exposing how deeply modern #supplychains depend on petroleum-based inputs, creating cascading disruptions across transportation, agriculture, plastics, chemicals, semiconductors, and global consumer markets. scmr.com/article/strait…

Regenerative supply chains move beyond simply reducing environmental and social harm by focusing on restoring the ecosystems, communities, and production systems that long-term supply chain resilience and competitiveness depend on. scmr.com/article/why-do…

Körber Supply Chain’s collaboration with NVIDIA highlights how advances in computing power and physics-based simulation are turning digital twins into practical, real-time decision tools for supply chain design, execution, and optimization. scmr.com/article/koerbe…

In a supply chain environment defined by tariff uncertainty, tight capacity, and constant disruption, logistics leaders are winning by prioritizing speed, agility, and real-time decision-making over perfect forecasts. @UberFreight's Bob Daymon explains. scmr.com/podcast/talkin…

Human-in-the-loop automation is emerging as the most practical path for warehouse robotics, as real-world supply chain variability prevents fully autonomous “lights-out” operations from delivering consistent performance. scmr.com/article/why-fu…

Forecasting failures in supply chains persist not due to flawed analytics, but because of deeply embedded organizational culture, misaligned incentives, and fragmented planning processes that distort true demand signals. scmr.com/article/the-cu…

UPS’s network-wide RFID rollout signals a shift from event-based tracking to continuous sensing, enabling real-time visibility that drives faster decisions, fewer errors, and greater supply chain flexibility. scmr.com/article/ups-rf…

Hitting your numbers doesn’t necessarily mean you have achieved operational excellence. The latest in the What It Really Means series from Andrew Byer and Mike Dobslaw looks at how you can achieve operational excellence in your supply chain. scmr.com/article/what-i…

Supply chain leaders must move beyond AI readiness to redesign talent, performance metrics, and workflows around human–AI collaboration to unlock real operational value. scmr.com/article/ai-rea…

#Ecommerce late orders are driven by a breakdown between warehouse operations and transportation, and can be mitigated through early detection thresholds, strategic deprioritization, and simplified order flows. scmr.com/article/late-o…

Retail inventory inaccuracies are less about theft and more about outdated accounting methods like the retail inventory method that distort stock visibility, forecasting, and replenishment decisions. scmr.com/article/retail…

#Supplychains are no longer constrained by data scarcity but by slow, unclear decision-making processes that prevent organizations from acting on insights in real time. scmr.com/article/data-i…

U.S. importers are overwhelmed by supply chain data and trade signals, but the real challenge is not access to information, it’s assigning clear ownership to interpret risk, prioritize action, and respond in time. scmr.com/article/import…

#Predictive models and #controltowers have given #supplychain leaders more signal than ever. The problem is not the volume of signal, it is that signal without context cannot tell you what to do. That gap is where #AI driven risk management breaks down. scmr.com/article/ai-wit…

A #supplychain exists to deliver #customerservice that meets expectations—simply put, on time and in full. If a supply chain cannot meet these expectations, it will struggle to consistently meet goals. #CustomerServiceFail scmr.com/article/what-i…

Supply chains have run on human memory for 30 years but that’s starting to change. #GenAI can now capture the tacit knowledge planners carry in their heads if companies build systems that actually learn from how people think. scmr.com/article/the-pl…
