This blog post was co-authored by Lionel Albert, Oracle's Senior Director EMEA, Manufacturing and Supply Chain Planning. Every year during the holidays, anxiety hits shoppers, retailers, and manufacturers alike about whether the season’s hottest products will face shortages. For manufacturers, at least, it doesn’t have to be this way. Many manufacturers lack the end-to-end supply chain visibility and flexibility needed to plan for demand spikes, but you can improve your...

Generations of children have asked their parents how Santa can deliver so many presents around the world in just one night.

“…humans—through our ingenuity, our commitment to fact and reason, and ultimately our faith in each other—can science the heck out of just about any problem,” wrote President Barack Obama in the November 2016 issue of WIRED magazine, which he guest edited. That dynamic is readily apparent in supply chain management, where many of those humans President Obama mentions are eagerly exploring how new technology can revolutionize the way we solve some of our thorniest business...

For the past few years, business leaders and supply chain professionals have debated what the future of supply chain management looks like. I envision supply chains like driverless cars that seamlessly commute back and forth from work without traffic or accidents—home before dinner every day! The reality is that even today, cognitive and predictive analytics can determine individual consumer desires with tailored marketing delivery—have you ever wondered how that pair of...

The U.S. National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) recently announced its plans to help industry and government address supply chain risks. As a part of this campaign, the NCSC released a video outlining threats that foreign entities, criminals, and hackers present to the private sector supply chain—and in turn to the public sector organizations that use goods and services from the private sector. The video aims to increase knowledge of elevated supply chain...

What does Order Management and a Rideshare Experience Have in Common? I recently did some research on a marketing project I was doing for Oracle’s Order Management Cloud product and it got me thinking of a common practice of using a rideshare app like Uber and Lyft.

In a historic vote last week, UK voters decided to leave the European Union. The implications of this decision are far reaching, and impacts everything from national security, immigration, the stock market and more. While the EU allows the UK up to 24 months to exit, smart supply chain professionals need to start thinking now about how this decision specifically affects their supply chains. APICS Director of Research, Jonathan Thatcher, wrote an informative blog post on this...
