play00:00

hi Amira uh really thank you for coming

play00:02

here today and we're going to now talk

play00:03

about supply chain resilience but before

play00:06

we do that i' love to hear a little bit

play00:08

more about yourself because you have a

play00:10

very strong academic background thank

play00:12

you very much for inviting me Samantha

play00:14

really happy to be here yes I uh joined

play00:16

MK um around 14 months ago as head of

play00:19

supply chain insights and Trends lab and

play00:21

prior to joining MK I was a professor in

play00:24

logistics and Supply Chain management

play00:26

spent most of my academic career in UK

play00:28

universities uh before for coming to

play00:30

Denmark Technical University and hence

play00:32

how I ended up moving here to Denmark

play00:35

and a little birdie tells me actually

play00:36

from a young age you actually have some

play00:38

experience or some exposure when it

play00:40

comes to supply chain yes I do I uh grew

play00:44

up in a family of uh textile

play00:46

manufacturers so I had uh exposure to

play00:49

supply chain and procurement before I

play00:51

even knew what supply chain and

play00:52

procurement was so very much at an early

play00:54

stage growing up on Factory floors or in

play00:57

production and watching my parents build

play00:59

up the business um I very quickly got

play01:03

the um I guess this the feeling or the

play01:06

desire to actually go into business

play01:08

myself and um it's probably no surprise

play01:10

that then many years later I embarked on

play01:13

choosing a textile design as my bachelor

play01:15

as my bachelor degree because at that

play01:17

time I thought well I was going to join

play01:18

the family business and then after that

play01:20

I got a a scholarship though to join

play01:22

what was then the University of

play01:23

Manchester Institute of Science and

play01:24

Technology to do it a master in

play01:26

philosophy but I chose to do it on the

play01:28

subject of design procurement in the

play01:29

textile industry so I wanted to further

play01:31

explore some of the Dynamics of when we

play01:33

make purchasing decisions for our

play01:35

customers you know how do our customers

play01:37

choose to actually buy the designs that

play01:39

they buy and actually many years after

play01:41

that when I did my PhD it also became

play01:44

the theme of my PhD study because I then

play01:48

looked into supply chain risk and

play01:49

resilience of which actually design

play01:51

played a really prominent role because

play01:53

one of the contributions of my thesis

play01:55

was actually looking at how the supply

play01:57

chain begins on the drawing board

play01:58

meaning that the decisions that we take

play02:00

at that very early stage have uh huge

play02:02

implications for risk and for complexity

play02:05

for agility and so forth and that then

play02:07

naturally somehow transitioned me away

play02:09

from the business world but after doing

play02:11

a PhD I was asked to join Cranfield

play02:14

University who were along with MIT at

play02:16

the time pioneering in research and

play02:17

supply chain risk and resilience so I

play02:19

ended up becoming an academic as opposed

play02:22

to the the business world that I had

play02:23

dreamed of but now it's come full

play02:25

circles and you're back in the business

play02:27

World here at MK what you just touched

play02:28

upon is really crial for the discussion

play02:30

that we're about to have today so can

play02:32

you tell us what are some of the key

play02:34

learnings that we have sort of gathered

play02:36

looking at these supply chain

play02:37

disruptions over the last few years and

play02:39

how can that enable us to make sort of

play02:41

supply chain recovery choices recent

play02:43

years have been a bruising period for

play02:45

Supply chains but I would see them as a

play02:47

wake call I think it's time for a reset

play02:49

for many organizations but over the

play02:51

years as we started developing Global

play02:52

Supply chains we also started embedding

play02:54

a lot of complexity naturally Within

play02:56

These Global Supply chains and what that

play02:58

means is now we're far more

play02:59

interconnected in our Global Supply

play03:01

chains than we've ever been before but

play03:03

therefore that also means we're a lot

play03:05

more exposed to risks than ever before

play03:07

so I think now I would say in recent

play03:10

years because of the I guess the

play03:11

causation effects of lots of risks that

play03:13

we're seeing there's a greater

play03:14

recognition now that we need to develop

play03:17

more resilience in our supply chains as

play03:19

opposed to just looking at operational

play03:21

risk management which I think used to be

play03:23

more uh of the attention of senior

play03:25

leaders and organizations and it seems

play03:27

to be at such a critical level because

play03:29

we've even had you know President Biden

play03:32

recently now because of these supply

play03:34

chain woes uh plaguing the US supply

play03:37

chain he's now actually appointing a

play03:40

supply chain resilience officer has it

play03:42

got to that level now that even it's not

play03:44

just at a company level but government

play03:46

levels that it's reaching a point that

play03:48

something has to be done yes I think uh

play03:50

it's the right decision by Biden to

play03:52

appoint a supply chain resilience

play03:54

officer and I'm really happy to see that

play03:56

I think there's a greater realization

play03:57

now that we need to think about our

play03:59

policy and our government decisions uh

play04:01

also around resilience I think we have

play04:04

to develop a resilient infrastructure

play04:06

because if we don't have the government

play04:08

and the policy makers behind

play04:10

organizations and particularly smmes

play04:12

smmes formed the vital part of Global

play04:15

Supply chains and if we look at what

play04:18

businesses have had to go through in in

play04:20

the last few years they need a lot of

play04:22

support and that reform comes from from

play04:24

government so the fact that there's a

play04:26

now growing recognition at the

play04:28

government levels that look we this is

play04:30

something that is is here to stay it's

play04:32

long lasting and we need to uh develop

play04:35

an approach that will uh hopefully

play04:38

support the resilience of our supply

play04:40

networks I think that that can only be a

play04:42

good thing you've spoken about Beyond

play04:44

recovery we actually need to look at

play04:46

regeneration can you tell me a little

play04:48

bit more about this when we fall or we

play04:50

fail or There's A disruption we think

play04:52

about recovery right how do we kind of

play04:54

bounce back and we can almost say that

play04:56

links with resilience but I think

play04:57

regeneration is actually about giving a

play05:00

little bit more back than what we take

play05:01

from the world but for me I think

play05:03

regeneration is also about it's about

play05:05

mindsets it's about attitudes it's about

play05:07

culture and I think in a world where now

play05:10

sustainability has become much more of a

play05:12

bigger imperative I think in Supply

play05:14

chains we now need to take that view of

play05:15

not just you know resilience in in the

play05:18

way we do things but it's also about

play05:20

resilience and regeneration we've got to

play05:22

look at that the choices that we make in

play05:24

our supply chains how are they impacting

play05:27

the planet how are they impac in the

play05:28

world and I know that these are

play05:30

difficult decisions to make in times

play05:31

when we are grappling with costs and

play05:33

inflation and so on but I think that

play05:36

there's no doubt in my mind that as we

play05:38

go forward and particularly companies

play05:40

such as as MK When we have such a strong

play05:42

and a big brand name we can really help

play05:45

uh the rest of our supply chain Partners

play05:47

think more about the greater good for

play05:49

what we do through our supply chain

play05:51

decisions and also it's decisions that

play05:53

have to be made now they can't be put

play05:55

off indefinitely because there's not an

play05:57

endless or infinite sort of uh resource

play05:59

is out there and we know as well where

play06:01

some of our um sort of supplies are

play06:03

coming from there's also maybe political

play06:05

issues coming up in the future that if

play06:06

we don't tackle them now they're not

play06:07

going to have uh sort of robust enough

play06:09

businesses I would say absolutely and we

play06:11

look at this in our um supply chain and

play06:14

insight Trends lab we look at this

play06:15

through what we call a poly crisis

play06:17

framework so we look at different lens

play06:18

like geopolitical technology and the

play06:20

environment we look at our competition

play06:22

and our customers for example as a

play06:24

framework and it's those sub Trends and

play06:26

the interconnectivity between those sub

play06:27

Trends so for example we look at

play06:29

decarbonization and circularity and

play06:31

Green Logistics you know are they being

play06:33

caused by the shift of diversification

play06:36

of Global Supply chains or the need for

play06:37

greater resilience or are they being

play06:39

governed actually by regenerative

play06:42

approaches that we want to take through

play06:44

being better on the on the planet but

play06:45

then is that linked to you know

play06:47

regionalization because our customers

play06:49

are now seeking resilience in a postco

play06:51

world so it's the interconnectivity of

play06:53

these trends that becomes really

play06:55

important but I think that going forward

play06:57

you're absolutely right we live in a

play06:58

world with out resources and we at MK

play07:01

you know we were the first to uh launch

play07:04

our decarbonized vessel for example

play07:06

we're doing this throughout our supply

play07:07

chain through our Eco delivery products

play07:09

as well and we're also supporting our

play07:11

customers to show them leading by

play07:14

example on how we can further drive down

play07:17

our you know decarbonization agenda

play07:19

because we recognize how important it is

play07:21

that we put back on the planet that we

play07:23

also take out so I think that if we can

play07:25

collectively create a an ecosystem that

play07:28

can be regenerative that can be

play07:29

resilient we no longer need to just

play07:31

think about recovery because it's an

play07:33

ecosystem that will help be uh better to

play07:35

the planet but also our customers with

play07:38

the value that they seek from us now

play07:39

being the academic a recent report by

play07:42

McKenzie and I'll quote them here stated

play07:43

that companies can address risks by

play07:46

reconsidering those outdated short-term

play07:49

strategies and actually beginning the

play07:51

hard work of building structural

play07:53

resilience but what does this translate

play07:55

to in the real world and in current

play07:57

terms risk is often a a one-off event

play08:01

and by focusing just on risk we can end

play08:04

up taking a very narrow view it's often

play08:06

quite shortterm is so a risk occurs we

play08:08

deal with it but it gives us this

play08:10

recency bias resilience is a lot more

play08:12

taking a long-term View and when we

play08:15

think about structural resilience I

play08:16

believe the McKenzie report is probably

play08:18

referring to this idea of developing you

play08:20

know moving from Dynamic capabilities to

play08:22

structural capabilities and that is that

play08:25

is our organization structurally capable

play08:27

of withstanding any risk that when it

play08:29

occurs we are able to still operate as

play08:32

as usual now that sounds quite simple

play08:34

when you when you say it but it's

play08:36

actually a lot more complex to deliver

play08:38

in the real world so I think that the

play08:40

focus here must be on resilience as we

play08:43

mentioned earlier resilience Supply

play08:44

Chain Solutions are be looked at from

play08:46

many different academic lenses and one

play08:48

such lens was talked upon in a Forbes

play08:50

article earlier this year and it said

play08:52

risk resilient Supply chains create

play08:54

Dynamic digital connections across all

play08:57

your suppliers contract manufactur

play08:59

Logistics partners and service providers

play09:02

then goes on to say these digital

play09:04

connections will facilitate fast

play09:06

intuitive collaboration on demand but if

play09:09

I'm sort of a business company owner

play09:12

what do you think that they should

play09:13

prioritize before we get to this sort of

play09:16

idealistic scenario we have to remember

play09:19

that technology is an enabler for supply

play09:22

chain an enabler it's to to help aid our

play09:25

supply chain decision making so I think

play09:27

first and foremost it's very very

play09:29

important to understand let's just get

play09:31

to the basics right let's understand the

play09:33

basics what is it that we don't already

play09:36

know that we want this data to support

play09:38

us with because once we understand what

play09:42

we don't know in our supply chains then

play09:45

we can start using that data to help us

play09:47

understand what we need to know when we

play09:49

know what we need to know when we

play09:52

understand that better we will be better

play09:54

able to serve our customers so I think

play09:56

that technology is is there and data is

play10:00

needs to be the right kind of data right

play10:02

and we're now seeing the use of large

play10:04

language based models in generative AI

play10:06

for example to help to structure data

play10:08

because ultimately our goal is to

play10:10

improve visibility in our supply chains

play10:12

so how can we do that well we need to

play10:13

UNF fuzz some of the fuzzy data from the

play10:16

data that we actually need so I think

play10:18

ultimately it's about understanding like

play10:20

how do we better sense the demand from

play10:22

our customers and then translate that

play10:24

demand into a value proposition to best

play10:27

serve our customers my simple answer

play10:29

would be let's just get the basics right

play10:31

and understand what are we using the

play10:33

Technologies for in the first place to

play10:35

enable improved Supply Chain management

play10:37

to optimize our supply chains so thank

play10:39

you for I think a final questions we're

play10:41

coming to the end of the year and a lot

play10:43

of attention is going to be made on the

play10:44

trends for next year what do you see as

play10:47

some of like the key factors key areas

play10:49

that are trending that we should be

play10:51

paying attention to well I think uh

play10:53

particularly for our industry I think

play10:55

the transition from a linear economy to

play10:57

a circular economy and specifically for

play11:00

mask uh looking at reverse Logistics I

play11:02

think will be one of the biggest Trends

play11:04

not just for mask actually for all uh

play11:06

Logistics service providers can you

play11:08

expand a little bit upon reverse

play11:10

Logistics so just for some of our

play11:11

audience members out there yeah so

play11:13

reverse Logistics actually it's not just

play11:15

simply about returning Goods uh after a

play11:18

consumer has used them to waste reverse

play11:21

Logistics is enhancing uh this circular

play11:25

circular Supply chains basically which

play11:26

is to say that we focus on taking

play11:29

products once they have been used back

play11:31

to the midpoint of our supply chain to

play11:33

be recirculated back into an ecosystem

play11:36

where they can be either refurbished or

play11:38

repurposed or remanufactured and repur

play11:41

repaired to circulate back into a supply

play11:43

chain process and and be reused again so

play11:45

for example in our lifestyle and our

play11:48

fashion vertical um it could be about

play11:50

repairing Goods now to be used you know

play11:52

pre-loved clothing for example we're

play11:54

seeing the the rise of that right so

play11:56

this is very much uh not driven just by

play11:59

choice or because we all want to be good

play12:01

to the planet of course that's a big

play12:02

part of it but actually it's a lot of

play12:04

the legislations are now driving us

play12:06

towards this and I think uh for our

play12:08

industry as a whole uh particularly

play12:10

where we're focusing on achieving Net

play12:12

Zero targets circularity is uh a really

play12:15

big way of achieving that and I think

play12:17

that will be a big trend for for for all

play12:20

Industries going forward we look forward

play12:22

to diving a little bit deeper into that

play12:24

Trend in our next discussion which will

play12:26

be of course on the circular economy but

play12:28

I would love to of course thank you for

play12:29

your time thank you for taking us

play12:31

through supply chain resilience and

play12:33

hopefully from what the insights that

play12:35

you shared companies whether they're big

play12:37

or or small sort of Traders can really

play12:39

apply uh some of those lessons that

play12:41

you've shared with us today thank you

play12:43

thank you so

play12:47

much
