I have the biggest smile on my face as I write this because I\u2019m pleased to announce that we recently hit 7,000 downloads. Wow!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every new \u201csubscribe\u201d is like a high five, and we\u2019re getting a lot of those considering the Auto Supply Chain Prophets was recognized as one of <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bianchipr.com\/2023-best-podcasts-automotive\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2023\u2019s Best Podcasts for Automotive and Mobility Technology Suppliers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A big thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you missed an episode or two last year, or are new around here and trying to get the lay of the land, I highly recommend <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/autosupplychainprophets.com\/episode\/2023-playback-auto-supply-chain-prophets-podcast-summary\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Episode #47<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where Jan reviews some of our top themes and conversations from 2023. Cheers to another year of connecting with thought leaders, uncovering insights and challenging conventional wisdom as we steer the course toward an even more resilient automotive supply chain!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you haven\u2019t yet listened to or read about them, take a look at our <\/span><\/i><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/blog\/?s=auto+supply+chain+prophets\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wrap-up blogs<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> covering past episodes of the Auto Supply Chain Prophets podcast.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Episode #46: The Crucial Role Of Risk Management In Future Supply Chains<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural disasters, cybersecurity threats, global trade issues, equipment failure; supply chain disruption comes in many forms for automotive suppliers and companies can\u2019t afford to take the pedal off risk management activities. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed existing vulnerabilities in our supply chains and new ones are taking shape all the time, yet taking a proactive approach to current and future risks can be difficult due to a lack of top-down support, incoming talent who frankly aren\u2019t familiar with risk management, and poorly defined processes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Few understand this conundrum, or know how to solve it, better than Cathy, Jan and I, having seen it firsthand more times than we can count. In this episode, we seek to do just that by taking a deep dive into risk management strategies, exploring how CEOs and cross-functional collaboration are the linchpins in creating resilient supply chains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also discuss an invaluable tool for your risk management arsenal: our recently updated <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/documents\/white-papers\/qad-leveraging-risk-management-automotive.pdf?utm_term=erp&amp;utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_medium=prophet&amp;utm_campaign=gl-auto&amp;utm_content=wp\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">white paper<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, \u201cLeveraging Risk Management Throughout the Automotive Supply Chain,\u201d which includes a breakdown of supply chain risks, the ins and outs of standards like Materials Management Operations Guideline, Logistic Evaluation (MMOG\/LE) and IATF 16949, and how solutions such as <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/solutions\/supplier-management\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QAD Supplier Relationship Management<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help you put disruption in the rearview mirror.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the day, it\u2019s not enough to merely acknowledge risk; we must actively engage in proactive risk management, conducting frequent assessments and quarterly reviews to stay ahead of the curve. As Cathy aptly put it, \u201cEmbracing risk assessment and risk-based thinking in your business actually helps you be a better innovator than if you&#8217;re just not looking at the risks at all.&#8221; And in an industry defined by innovation, that&#8217;s a lesson worth heeding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Click <\/b><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/autosupplychainprophets.com\/episode\/the-crucial-role-of-risk-management-in-future-supply-chains\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>here<\/b><\/a><b> to listen to the full episode.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Episode #47: 2023 Playback | Auto Supply Chain Prophets Podcast Summary<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As I sit down to write this, I\u2019m struck by how quickly 2024 is flying by!

Plus, we have had the pleasure of touching base with some of the most brilliant minds in our industry and have learned a lot along the way!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This episode holds a special place in my heart because it\u2019s a recap of the key themes that shaped our podcast in 2023. From global standards to the burgeoning realm of EV adoption, from the transformative power of automation to the critical importance of risk management, we&#8217;ve left no stone unturned. It&#8217;s this commitment to staying ahead of the curve that has positioned us as pioneers in driving industry conversations forward, and forms the heart of our vision found in our essential white paper, \u201c<\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/auto-supply-chain.captivate.fm\/24-processes-free-downlaod\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re new to the Auto Supply Chain Prophets and trying to figure out what we\u2019re all about or are a longtime listener who has been with us every step of the way, I promise you\u2019ll love this episode.

You probably have an answer to that question, but may be surprised to learn that a colleague has a completely different interpretation. That\u2019s the funny thing about Lean manufacturing; it\u2019s been around for decades, or even hundreds of years depending on who you ask, and can have a profound impact on operational excellence, yet its true meaning tends to get buried and lost in jargon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this episode, we had the privilege of hosting a true luminary in the world of Lean transformations, <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/beth-crowley-43053a3\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beth Crowley<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, President of The Crowley Group, and Cathy, Jan and I agree we like her definition best: \u201cLean is really a lot of different things; it&#8217;s really misunderstood. But the basic premise of everyone who&#8217;s trying to get leaner is the elimination of waste.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We like simple definitions that everyone on your team can get behind! There is, of course, more to Lean, but getting to the bottom of the methodology is easy with Beth\u2019s insights. In this episode, we demystify the nexus between Lean and leadership, adoption challenges and the universality of Lean principles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beth also shares pragmatic advice on setting up successful Kanban systems and leveraging inventory management as a diagnostic tool. Give it a listen and you\u2019ll see one thing is abundantly clear: Lean isn&#8217;t just a methodology; it&#8217;s a mindset shift that holds the key to unlocking the full potential of automotive supply chains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Click <\/b><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/autosupplychainprophets.com\/episode\/lean-manufacturing-thriving-or-dying-in-todays-automotive-supply-chain\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>here<\/b><\/a><b> to listen to the full episode.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Episode #49: Supply Chain Dynamics | Technology, ESG Regulations, and Strategic Collaboration<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you likely know, we\u2019re all about delivering actionable insights that will help you not only survive but thrive in the automotive supply chain of the future.

We can\u2019t speak to the full picture with certainty, but we do know that many emerging rules centered on global trade, forced labor and environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) concerns at the national level are going to mature. We also know that artificial intelligence (AI) and other technologies will continue to take hold, presenting both an opportunity and challenge for global supply chains. Today is the time to start preparing for tomorrow\u2019s supply chain, but where should you begin?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jan and I love Nichole\u2019s answer, part of which is to get involved with industry organizations like AIAG and <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mema.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MEMA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that support collaboration and communication within the automotive supply chain. We also appreciate her perspective on the importance of breaking down organizational silos. Knowledge is power and an enterprise as a whole is so much more effective when information is shared and departments work collectively to make informed decisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019d also like to thank Nichole for drawing attention to the role of women in the automotive supply chain. We\u2019re thrilled to see that changing, but it\u2019s important to recognize that we, as women, have a duty to ourselves and others rising around us to speak up about our goals and work together to continue bringing down that glass ceiling. \u201cWe as women cannot put our heads down and think someone&#8217;s going to notice we&#8217;re working hard.
