  • The best supply chain podcast

    A great supply chain podcast. Short but thorough and very interesting topics. Some supply chain podcasts are a bunch of buzz words and no actual meat, this one does not follow that mold.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Aren’t We Getting Our Money’s Worth From Transportation Spending?
Q: Is there a viable path to reform that could break the cycle of funding and under-delivery?
Yes, by ensuring ongoing accountability, shifting emphasis from new construction to repair and maintenance, and implementing lifecycle planning so that upkeep is treated as a core, funded component of any new project, with annual congressional review.
How Quickly Can Supply Chains Recover From a Major Disruption?
Q: But let's start by talking specifically about the Strait of Hormuz. Does an initial surge in vessel traffic signal a return to normal operations?
The guest explains that an opening or easing of disruption does not equal an immediate return to normal; there is a lag and prioritization in how shipments are processed, and ripple effects continue as the system slowly rebalances.
PepsiCo’s Big Sustainability Push in APAC
Q: What is the significance of seven months and the regional showcase?
Seven months is a sweet spot to build trust and commercial readiness between mentors and cohorts, culminating in a shop-tank style showcase in Singapore where representatives present for potential funding and adoption.
PepsiCo’s Big Sustainability Push in APAC
Q: Why the Impact Edition this year?
To solve the pilot-to-procurement bottleneck by taking alumni solutions and moving them into PepsiCo's day-to-day operations, thereby creating material, scalable impact across the APAC region.
PepsiCo’s Big Sustainability Push in APAC
Q: What kicked it off four years ago?
A prior program aimed at minimizing footprint evolved into an integrated transformation approach, embedding sustainability into PepsiCo's core operations and establishing the program in September 2021.
