Robert Handfield is a Professor of Supply Chain Management at North Carolina State University and Executive Director and Founder of the Supply Chain Resource Cooperative. He has studied and worked in supply chains for over 30 years and has been an expert witness since 2010.

In this episode . . .

Robert discusses the uptick of supply chain cases he's been involved in since COVID, specifically around buyer-seller contracts. He has learned many things from his expert witness experience and his "sweet spot" is educating the jury, explaining things in a "simple, direct way." He shares there are a couple basic principles to stand by as an expert, "One, always tells the truth. Number two is to stick to your lane. Do not try to speculate or guess something you do not feel comfortable about. It is okay to say, 'I do not know,' which is acceptable."
