Featured Content: The Interplay Between Supply Chain Technology and Process

A recent SupplyChainBrain discussion featuring Christine Barnhart from Miebach and Andrew Driscoll from OMP highlights a critical shift taking place in supply chain management: organizations can no longer treat data, technology, and business processes as separate functions.

The conversation explores how companies are moving beyond siloed operations to create more connected, real-time supply chain ecosystems that align planning with execution. While technologies such as AI continue to advance, the speakers emphasize that technology alone is not enough. Without integrated processes and a clear operational strategy, even the most sophisticated tools can accelerate poor decision-making rather than improve outcomes.

Key takeaways from the discussion include:

• The importance of breaking down both process and data silos
• Using real-time operational data to improve planning accuracy
• Developing cross-functional roadmaps for long-term transformation
• Aligning KPIs across departments to improve end-to-end performance
• Starting with manageable improvements instead of large-scale overhauls

They also stress that successful transformation requires collaboration across the organization and, in some cases, support from external experts to help bridge capability gaps.
