Ep. 15: The Evolving Supply Chain with Greg Plemmons of OD & Dr. Thomas Goldsby of the University of Tennessee

lundi 9 septembre 2024 • Durée 34:23

The domestic supply chain has changed in ways few could predict. It has rebuilt itself in new, dynamic ways, with a stronger version of Just-in-Time shipping emerging.

Their conversation explores the advantages and challenges of Just-in-Time 2.0, near-shoring options, and the new AI tools companies can access when planning for future demands.

Ep. 01: Just-in-Time — When Supply Chains are Backlogged with Greg Plemmons and Bob Costello

jeudi 15 décembre 2022 • Durée 19:14

The pandemic-induced devastation of supply chains put a spotlight on some of the challenges we face and exposed vulnerabilities in the just-in-time model. Does this mean the just-in-time process is no more? What lessons have we learned and what more needs to be done to ensure reliable on-time delivery of goods?

To answer these questions and discuss future inventory management strategies, Host Jonathan Betz sits down with Greg Plemmons, Sr. VP of Sales for Old Dominion Freight Line, and Bob Costello, Chief Economist, and Sr. VP of International Trade Policy and cross-border operations for the American Trucking Associations.
