APICS Tampa Bay invites you to join Mr. Bill Mazurek, President & Managing Director of Maz-Tec and Associates, a Continuous Improvement Consultant Services L.L.C., for a presentation regarding the management of uncertainty in the supply chain on Tuesday, March 2nd, at 6pm.

Supply chain professionals have been challenged by increased uncertainties and market fluctuation that continues to intensify as a result of COVID-19. Enabling pulse-driven analytics to maximize flexibility in supply chain logistics is more important than ever to navigate uncertainties, now and in the post-COVID-19 world.

This presentation seeks to review traditional supply chain structures and contrast how ‘pulse-driven’ data analytics can provide greater response to market, as well as supply chain variability. Tools and techniques to develop a conceptual framework for optimized data harvesting will be discussed and highlighted during the presentation, as follows:

 1. Traditional Supply Chain Structures

2. Supply Chain Key Performance Indicators

3. Dashboard Best Practices

a. Data Visualization

b. Tolerance for uncertainty

4. Pulse-Driven Analytics to Minimize Uncertainty

a. Data Mining

b. Classification

c. Analysis

5. Informational Supply Chain Partnerships

a. Feedback

b. Counter-measures (results vs. report-outs)

6. Call to Action

a. Step-by-Step Approach to Minimize Uncertainty

The overreaching goal is to provide insights that will aid supply chain professionals to gauge uncertainty, develop pulse-driven metrics and action-based counter measures to create an atmosphere of continuous monitoring and adjustment to lessen the impacts of uncertainty on your organization. The rules have changed- understanding your tolerance for uncertainty while applying real-time data analytics to monitor and adjust where appropriate will lessen the overall impact of supply chain variability.
