"It ain't about how hard you get hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." - Rocky Balboa

Supply chain professionals know how to take a hit. In most cases, they are strong enough to get back up time and time again. How quickly they are back on their feet each time is an indication of resilience, an essential quality that can be improved through reflection, examination, and analysis.

In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes Sunder Balakrishnan. Sunder is the Director of Supply Chain Analytics for LatentView Analytics, where he specializes in consumer products, retail, technology, and industrial automotive. His background includes roles focused on process and data, all with the end goal of solving some of the biggest challenges facing companies today.

Sunder takes on both the idea of resilience and the effort to make our supply chains more so:

  • Where the majority of disruptions take place in supply chains today
  • The level of visibility most companies have into their multi-tier supply chain at the beginning of their resilience journey
  • How to focus on getting back up faster, putting processes and systems in place to offer supply chain teams a much-needed boost
