“THE SUPPLY CHAIN WORKER OF THE FUTURE IS ONE THAT IS ABLE TO EMBRACE DIGITAL”
KEVIN O’ MARAH, CO-FOUNDER AND CHIEF RESEARCH OFFICER, ZERO100
“ One is that my generation can learn a lot in terms of gauging different perspectives, which is helping us to rethink how we design our supply chain to gain a competitive advantage when we are delivering to consumers. Two, we ask our reverse mentors to work on specific initiatives and we get a lot of value because it’ s a great network of people. And three, it’ s an opportunity for people to get immediate access to senior leaders.”
What’ s more, Roberto points to ELC’ s prestige performance system( PPS), which is coming in especially useful within the company’ s manufacturing operation.
He describes it as application of the lean management philosophy, but with particular focus on empowering people.
“ If you visit one of our factories, you will see that the PPS is really multiplying the benefit of the investment,” Roberto adds.“ We have a tool where, as soon as there’ s a good idea in one place, it is shared everywhere else.
