The world of supply chain has been battered by unprecedented disruption over the past 2 – 3 years, and we appear to be far from emerging into a period of stability and positivity.

The pandemic saw manufacturing and supply dwindle to a trickle and the conflict in Europe has created further disruption and escalating costs in energy and raw material prices.

So how does the Supply Chain, Procurement and Purchasing need to develop, to maintain success and growth now and in the coming decades?

In this podcast we discuss many subjects including:

• Change occurring within supply chain strategy.
• Consolidation of spend.
• How to keep a handle on your supply chain?
• The importance of digital research for smaller companies.
• The impacts and changes occurring in stocking and logistics.
• Sustainability metrics for suppliers.
