About this episode

Join us for this week's episode of The Buzz, as we dive into how adaptive planning is revolutionizing how organizations approach supply chain management, allowing for greater flexibility and responsiveness to a changing market.

In this episode, hosts Scott Luton and Kim Reuter welcome special guests Rick McDonald, CEO of Rick McDonald Supply Chain Advisory, and Mike Landry, CEO of ketteQ, to discuss the challenges of traditional planning methods, and highlight the need for innovative solutions that leverage real-time data.

Listen in as the panel also discusses:

  • The importance of integrating various data sources to enhance demand forecasting and improve inventory management
  • The effects of the Canadian Postal Workers Strike
  • The impact (or not?) of a shorter holiday shopping season
  • The shifting landscape of supply chain operations
  • And much more!

Join the conversation as we explore actionable strategies and the future of supply chain planning in an increasingly complex environment.
