Digital Supply Chain and Innovation at Unilever


Listen Later

Supply chain management (SCM) is a competitive differentiator at Unilever. The Unilever supply chain extends beyond the manufacturing process into the core of digital transformation using artificial intelligence to manage supply chain risks and ensure the company can meet customer demand.

To learn more, we spoke with Wendy Herrick, Unilever's head of Digital Supply Chain. Wendy has 25+ years in Unilever and has held leadership roles across both Finance and Supply Chain. She started her career with Unilever in Bristol, England, and has worked in numerous countries across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

In this conversation, we discuss the following:

-- Global supply chain management at Unilever
-- Supply chain and digital transformation
-- Cognitive automation, Aera Technology, and supply chain resilience
-- Supply chain innovation and digital transformation strategy
-- SCM and machine learning
-- How Unilever manages potential supply chain disruptions

In 2015, Wendy was appointed to the position of VP Supply Chain US responsible for end to end Supply Chain integration, Supply Chain Digital Strategy, and in-market business results. She was appointed Head of Digital Supply Chain in July 2018.
