The Supply Chain Buzz is Supply Chain Now’s regular Monday livestream, held at 12n ET each week. This show focuses on some of the leading stories from global supply chain and global business, always with special guests – the most important of which is the live audience!

This week’s edition of The Buzz featured Leah Knight, a member of the product marketing and direct spend solutions teams at SAP. Her team is focused on helping companies manage a full end-to-end procurement process for their products: product design, launch, through volume manufacturing and renegotiation of huge multi-year contracts. For OEMs like those in automotive, material costs are often volatile, making co-innovation with suppliers absolutely critical to growth and competitive advantage.

In this livestream, created in collaboration with a live Supply Chain Now audience, Leah, Scott and Greg discussed:

• How and why retail giant Target is expanding its next day delivery program, investing $100M between now and 2026

• How a ransomware attack led Dole to pause production at its North American food plants and suspend shipments

• How the automotive industry – and their supporting supply chains – are adapting to support the transition to EVs
