How automotive suppliers are turning supply chain orchestration into a competitive and financial advantage
Every supply chain leader knows the tension: working capital down, service levels up, while millions sit quietly in transit, exposed and invisible to both sides. For leading suppliers, that exposure adds up to 1–2% of working capital tied up in goods in transit, per plant, per year.
The shift happening now goes beyond operations. AI-driven orchestration compresses inbound cycles, eliminates coordination delays, and turns working capital tied up in transit into a genuine competitive advantage.
In our next episode of SupplyChainTalk with host Alastair Charatan, we’ll explore:
- Compressing inbound cycle times and reducing tied up cash across your supplier network
- Moving from reactive coordination to proactive execution at scale
- Building the internal business case that gets Finance aligned, not just informed
You’ll leave with a sharper perspective on:
- Why goods in transit is one of the most underleveraged working capital levers available today
- How AI and logistics orchestration compress inbound cycle times across your supplier network
- What it takes to move from reactive coordination to proactive execution at scale
Who should attend: CSCOs, VPs of Supply Chain and Procurement, and senior operations and finance leaders at automotive suppliers or any suppler with dealing with multiple vendors and components.
