AI agents can keep operational work moving overnight. But in supply chains, automating a flawed process can accelerate mistakes just as quickly as it clears backlogs, while leaving accountability dangerously unclear.

A missed outbound load can begin long before anyone reaches the loading dock. A pallet in the wrong location or a trailer blocked behind others can drain labour, slow throughput and threaten delivery commitments.

A supply-chain decision can be perfectly correct, and still be useless if it arrives too late. Better forecasts matter, but the harder problem is turning uncertain, fragmented information into action while that information still ha... more

AI can make supply-chain decisions faster. It can also scale the data problems people have been quietly correcting for years. Once machines start acting rather than merely reporting, inconsistent definitions, missing context and we... more

  • Great format!

    I am really enjoying the insights from the different perspectives in the field. The 20 minute show length is great as most shows are an hour or more in length per episode, this show cuts out the fluff and gets right to the good stuff.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Misplaced Pallets, Buried Trailers: The Hidden Causes of Supply Chain Delays
Q: What actually happens operationally when the WMS says inventory is in one place, but reality says otherwise?
Todd Boone explains that a discrepancy can trigger a chain of notifications and searches involving multiple employees, diverting labor from moving product and potentially affecting customer satisfaction or shipment penalties.
Misplaced Pallets, Buried Trailers: The Hidden Causes of Supply Chain Delays
Q: When an outbound load misses its window, where does the failure usually begin? Is it the gate, the yard, stock, inventory, the dock, somewhere else?
Phil Newsome says failures can begin anywhere, including at the gate, in a congested yard or while locating a trailer. Todd Boone adds that misplaced pallets and variable warehouse practices can also create hidden delays.
Supply Chain AI Can Scale the Data Problems Humans Used to Fix
Q: And before you let a machine act on data, what, let's say three things must you know about that data?
Paul says leaders need to identify the consumer and intended decision, establish appropriate governance and provenance, and determine how the data should be exposed for that use.
Supply Chain AI Can Scale the Data Problems Humans Used to Fix
Q: After three decades around operations and data, what would you say is the problem that companies keep failing to solve?
Paul says systems built for human judgement are now operating at machine speed and scale. AI can amplify errors people once corrected or avoided, so organisations need to govern the autonomy they give machines.
When the Right Supply Chain Decision Arrives a Month Late
Q: How do you decide what decisions can be automated and which ones should stay with people?
Automate routine decisions, but use human review when potential costs exceed set thresholds, confidence is low or important information is not captured in the system.
