Kaizen Events. Kaizen events (or whatever we want to call the traditional week-long activity): Can be a useful tool when used in the context of an overall plan. This is independent of whether it is done in a week-long intense event or not. If there is interest, I’ll put something together.
Executives at Blue Yonder refer to this as a “cliff event.” To avoid a cliff event, Blue Yonder has proceeded by turning its supply chain applications into applications that are part traditional software code and part microservices. Before you drop an order to the distribution center, you need to know how the DC is behaving.”
trillion next year, omnichannel revenues may be increasing but so are the chances that something, somewhere, will go wrong on the journey of getting orders to the customer.

As recent events have shown, the automotive industry is vulnerable to supply chain disruptions, such as shortages of components or delays in delivery. A supplier portal can also be used to request information from suppliers on materials and costs and place orders without having to wait for paperwork or emails to confirm orders.
AI-powered features like “Text to Shop” enable customers to order products through text or voice commands. Robotics handle storage, retrieval, and packing, reducing reliance on manual labor and improving order fulfillment times. Walmart is also implementing AI-driven logistics and procurement.
Hub Operation Exceptions: Manually sorting packages at warehouses, and fulfillment and distribution centers by various criteria (zip code, package size, or vehicle type) can result in errors, especially as order volumes scale. The more packages moving through, the higher the likelihood of mistakes, leading to costly shipping delays.

A narrow definition of MES is that it serves as a work orderdriven, work-in-progress tracking system that captures information from the production floor and manages and monitors production events and reporting. It tracks operations from order release, to manufacturing, to finished goods. Source: LNS Research.
For example, with a data gateway, a supply planner gains accelerated access to customer orders, inventory levels, and transportation schedules, all in one place, to increase the user experience of making the right choice to identify inefficiencies and make better, more informed decisions.

High throughput ensures that orders are processed and fulfilled quickly, enabling warehouses to meet service-level agreements (SLAs) and customer expectations. Warehouses with high throughput can process orders faster, reduce delays, and ensure timely deliveries.
While this structured approach ensures consistency and order, it also creates rigidity, leaving the system unable to adapt to unexpected changes or optimize processes dynamically for specific scenarios. Warehouse optimization solutions enable DCs to implement waveless picking or dynamic order prioritization, even with legacy systems.
However, if you answered Eliud Kiphoge, you’re also correct, because he’s the current world record holder in the marathon, an event Bolt wouldn’t be able to complete in, much less win. The race to fulfill customer orders has a similar dichotomy, especially when it comes to 3PL kitting services.
For example, with a data gateway, a supply planner gains accelerated access to customer orders, inventory levels, and transportation schedules, all in one place, to increase the user experience of making the right choice to identify inefficiencies and make better, more informed decisions.
2021 was the trough with in-person events severely limited. Last year brought in a revival of events, but with a few still either provided virtually or postponed for one more year. This year I believe we will not only see a return to the prior number of events, but also record attendance. Email creiser@arcweb.com.
Many events exist in North America, Europe, and Asia. Industry association events are being held in the winter, spring, summer, and fall.

Yet supply chain lead times, inventory storage, order fulfillment, tracking, and shipping are often the trickiest challenges for online businesses to master. Moving merchandise means contending with hurricanes, pandemics, geopolitical events, unexpected demand, human errors, labor shortages — and the list goes on. Why is that?
of events and respond accordingly. Clarity of Impact: Context helps planners understand the significance of an event. For example, a warehouse inventory discrepancy may only matter if it affects high-priority orders or strategic customers. For instance, detecting a delay in a shipment is not enough.
Factory fires were the most frequent event type in the first half of 2018. In the first half of 2018, Resilinc notified a record 1,069 events within a six month period, the highest since Resilinc began monitoring in 2010. Of those events, more than 300 of them directly impacted the continuity of supply.
The occurrence of any of these events disrupts the global supply chain and can deeply impact profitability. One event could create so much churn, Mr. Al Syed explained. can require accessing many pieces of siloed data and then looking for relationships between the data sets and an event that has occurred. Celanese has 2.5
Exotec formally launched the Next Generation of the Skypod System on February 6, 2025, and ARC participated in the launch event. Following order preparation at the workstation, completed or semi-completed orders are automatically stored inside the racks until they are ready for outbound or further consolidation.
One of the key approaches to simulating warehouse operations is based on employing discrete event simulation (DES) techniques and tools. Then, cyber orders are downloaded. These order lines are associated with the pick locations. DES allows the modeling of complex warehouse operations at various levels of detail.
The resilience of your supply chain is determined by its structure and operations, whether we’re dealing with major immediate events like a pandemic or gradual systemic changes to your business environment over time. This really is a case where the saying, forewarned is forearmed applies.
when telesales would have captured many of the daily orders from customers. This process would continue until the order cutoff time at around 4 p.m. when we knew it was safe to start planning without too many new orders coming in to disrupt the task. Thats when the orders reached the maximum weight a vehicle could legally carry.
Automated warehouse operations streamline order fulfillment, reducing dependency on manual labor. AI integrates external data sources such as weather forecasts, geopolitical events, and social media trends to refine demand projections. AI-based demand forecasting minimizes excess inventory while ensuring sufficient supply.
By integrating Nauto’s AI-powered Video Event Data Recorder (VEDR) solution with Beans.ai’s precision location data and micro-routing technology, the collaboration offers a comprehensive solution tailored to meet the needs of last-mile deliveries, including VEDR compliance. Nauto and Beans.ai
The platform will look at all the potential alternatives and the cost of those alternatives, and it will make a recommendation for a supply chain person to go in and look at the event. Then, the tool drills down and looks at real-time performance on late orders or parts. It took a very chaotic area and helped create order.
JIT inventory management minimizes holding costs by scheduling orders as close as possible to production or sales needs. Example: Amazon’s fulfillment centers are famous for using robotics to streamline order processing and packing. Example: Retail giant Zara uses real-time data from its stores to adjust inventory dynamically.
In order to thrive in a time of uncertainty, companies must take a comprehensive approach to their supply chain processes and adopt emerging technologies that will allow them to anticipate and respond to different risk scenarios based on current events.

There is significant flooding on surface streets in many areas on the west coast of Florida, with many roads still closed. We didn’t see a ton of disruption from the port strike.
Take events into consideration: Machine learning uses historical trends and events that can impact transit times, and use this information to provide predictions. For example, improved transportation lead time predictions enables more informed decisions on which carrier, route and service level to use for any given order.
