In this podcast, we talk to innovators, operators, business thinkers and academics as we search for the latest approaches to success and seek clarity in the chaos of change. We take a uniquely Australian approach to addressing the supply chain challenges and poke into some unusual and interesting corners of supply chains. And, of course, we have some fascinating conversations along the way!
Until the 1970s, businesses did everything they could inhouse. As much as possible, businesses handled all aspects of production and distribution within their organisation: Businesses had engineers, mechanics, fitter and turners, design people, time and motion experts, procurement staff, big warehouses holding everything conceivable including significant office suppliers, fleet managers, travel arrangers, sales planners and so much more. They even had employees staffing the canteens and often a much-loved ‘tea lady’ bringing tea and biscuits to office staff.
And all this was managed, coordinated and planned by general managers.
Over time, everything not regarded as the core functions of the business have been outsourced. The former general managers are now called chief operating officers, supply chain managers or business improvement managers — each looking to gain maximum effectiveness from the complex and dynamic labyrinth of relationships called business today.
Our supply chain resilience team addresses the question: how do we make the complex inter-related labyrinth of relationships work in a way that makes our businesses sustainable and resilient despite the constant disruptions and changes of our changing economy?
