Bio: Jane Tierney founded purple link in 2015, sharing with clients there’s a better way to obtain value through the supply chain. Clients find dollars leaking through their supply chains, draining the bottom line and uncover risks lurking in the supply chain that emerge at the worst possible time. With purple link, clients develop skills to use with processes and tools to reclaim those dollars, return them to the bottom line, monitor and manage risk, and sustain savings year over year. An engineer with an MBA, Green Belt, CPSM and CPSD certifications, she’s writing her first book to share with other practitioners.
In addition to running her business, she teaches Operations & Supply Chain Management courses in the California State University system and serves on the advisory board for the Operations & Supply Chain Management program at CSULB. A consultant, teacher, speaker and author, she offers monthly Dynamic Dialog webinars and conducts workshops on a variety of topics. Her first book is due out in 2025.
Abstract:
We live in an environment rife with volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity.
Navigating in these waters is not easy. Supply chain professionals know the pain and chaos that can come from a serious disruption – a missed delivery or part shortage, quality problem, or even a huge, unanticipated swell in demand. Drilling down to root cause of a disruption is essential, but reactive. Using risk-based decision making enables companies to take a more proactive approach, considering potential risks as part of every decision, and building prevention and risk mitigation into every aspect of the business.
Definition of a VUCA environment
- Five domains of decision making
- Four types of decision making
