IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:[06.25] An overview of Demand Driven Technologies (DDTech).
[08.42] The difference between demand driven supply chain and traditional supply chain.
\u201cThe traditional way has worked fairly well, but we\u2019re in a different place today \u2013 we demand a lot more product variety, speed to market, and there are shorter customer tolerance times.\u201d
[11.05] How companies can move from a traditional forecasting model to a demand driven approach, and how DDTech\u2019s solutions can facilitate that.
[14.02] The lessons COVID has taught us, and the importance of resiliency and agility.
\u201cNow is a more important time than ever to have an approach to planning your supply chain that is fluid, dynamic and resilient.\u201d
[19.23] Brad\u2019s thoughts on visibility \u2013 what it means and why it\u2019s so important.
\u201cOften the more mature the supply chain is, the less visibility they have. So being able to present a single source of truth is a real unsung benefit of the demand driven application.\u201d
