Cybersecurity on the Move: Protecting Supply Chain Data in the Field

Today’s highly interconnected digital supply chains offer real-time visibility and connectivity but also 24/7 cybersecurity threats. Cybercriminals can enter your supply chain network through a growing number of access points, including warehouses; distribution centers; manufacturing sites; transportation hubs; customer locations; and other field environments where goods are made, managed, shipped and stored. When team members and partners can remotely access your network, so too can nefarious agents. A cybercriminal only needs one weak spot to infiltrate the whole supply chain, so you must be prepared for threats from all fronts. In “Cybersecurity on the Move: Protecting Supply Chain Data in the Field,” you’ll learn how everyday devices, physical worksites and on-site human behaviors can create pathways for cyber threats. You’ll also discover practical strategies for protecting company devices, recognizing high-risk situations and maintaining strong cybersecurity habits wherever work takes place.Developed in collaboration with ASCM member Rodrigo Knackfuss, MBA, CPIM

Trust: The Hidden Variable Undermining n-tier Supply Chain Performance

After a 12 month research initiative on supply chain transparency and trust—conducted in collaboration with the Department of War—the SCRM Consortium, together with a select group of five consulting partners (MBE 3D Engineers, University Supply Chain Chair, Organizational Development Professor, Master Integrator-LSSMBB, and DoW SaaS -SC Illumination solution provider), co developed a breakthrough approach to measuring and accelerating trust as a core operational capability: the Trust Acceleration Index™ (TAI™).Drawing on 70+ executive interviews, 200+ global survey responses, and cross industry workshops, this session will reveal how trust directly impacts cost, speed, resilience, and decision making under pressure.Participants will gain a concise overview of the Trust Acceleration Index™ (TAI™)—an AI enabled framework that identifies hidden friction, quantifies trust gaps, and links them to measurable performance outcomes.The session will conclude with an invitation to join a select group of ALPHA participants to apply TAI™ in their organization—at no cost.

How Hyper-Personalization is Transforming Supply Chains

Because of the advancements of artificial intelligence (AI), analytics and big data, companies now have the ability to offer hyper-personalization, delivering experiences as unique as their customers. Whether it’s by sending replenishment reminders based on actual usage patterns, offering recommendations based on proven customer preferences or ensuring an item is in stock exactly when the customer needs it, B2Me supply chains are targeting hyper-specific customer needs. Offering hyper-personalization at scale while delivering service consistently and within a reasonable timeframe requires a more complex supply chain than ever before. Organizations need to incorporate thousands of demand points into their supply chain planning. At the same time, organizations must balance consumer privacy when managing unique customer profiles. Efficiency is critical for managing this operational complexity, but there still needs to be flexibility for customization. In this microlearning, you’ll discover how to design this complicated supply chain that delivers effective, context-aware experiences for customers. The course also covers enabling tools, key risks and responsible hyper-personalization practices. Created in collaboration with ASCM member Renee Williams, MBA, PMP, PROSCI, CLSSGB.

    Hi everyone

    I passed my exam APICS CSCP exam while ago and I'm currently looking for a mentorship programme. If anyone can tell me about their experience with a mentorship programme, please. I'd really appreciate it.

    I'd also be interested in connecting with other members and sharing experiences. If anyone has experience working remotely, I'd be happy to hear about it.

    I've been on the lookout for a remote job for a while, and right now it's definitely the best option for me. I would also like to work on some projects to gain experience and improve my career.

      Hi Sheridan, Congratulations on earning your CSCP! To assist you with finding a mentor, you can check out the Mentorship Program page here in the Supply Chain Knowledge Center. The Mentorship Program tool will ask a few questions about you, and then provide you with a list of potential mentors that you can connect with. You can view their profiles prior to reaching out to learn more about them. Hopefully, there will be members of the community who can speak to the experience with remote work in supply chain.

    Good afternoon everyone: I recently created and deployed two digital based supply chain simulations and one simulation in a physical board based format. I'm looking for folks who would be interested in trying out the simulations so I can continue to refine my skills at using them as part of my supply chain training classes; both certification based and non-certification based. It won't cost you anything beyond some time. On the digital side, one is at a tactical strategic level and the other is strictly at a C-Level Strategic Level. You can find them at www.flexee.org. One is called Flexee SCM and the other is called Supply Chain Executive. The physical board game I've tentatively titled Edge of Chain because it is about the dynamics of building a supply chain that is capable of constantly changing and adapting as the marketplace is changing also, as well as maintaining your supply chain right on the edge of adaptability and capability. If any of these interest you, please reach out to me at my e-mail at chuck@theguruofbiz.com and we can run with conversations from there going forward

    Thanx

    Chuck

    Hi everyone,

     

    Thanks for welcoming me to the group!

     

    I'm Eileen, currently working as a Staff Planner at Illumina. I hold the APICS CPIM certification and have a background in Business Applications with a specialization in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).

     

    I bring over 15 years of experience in supply chain management across planning, operations, inventory management, ERP transformation, and process optimization. Throughout my career, I have led and contributed to various continuous improvement, digital transformation, and operational excellence initiatives, helping organizations improve service levels, optimize inventory, enhance data visibility, and drive productivity gains.

     

    Over the years, I've also earned certifications in SAP, Predictive Analytics and AI for Inventory Optimization, Demand Planning & Forecasting, and the Supply Chain Demand Planning & Forecasting Professional (CSCD™).

     

    I'm currently planning to pursue ASCM's Supply Planning Certificate and am passionate about continuous learning and professional growth within the supply chain field.

     

    One of my long-term goals is to relocate internationally, so I'm keen to connect with professionals across the industry, learn from your experiences, and exchange ideas on supply chain planning, digital transformation, and operational excellence.

     

    I'm also open to volunteering for supply chain initiatives, industry research, mentoring programs, or community projects. If there's an opportunity where I can contribute my experience and expertise, I'd love to get involved and give back to the community.

     

    I look forward to connecting with everyone, learning from your insights, and contributing to the discussions within this amazing community.
