How do you foster collaboration and communication between different departments (e.g., procurement, logistics, production) to optimize the entire supply chain process? For us, we have weekly meetings with different teams as we try to foster and build relationships internally.

Regular meetings help a lot! Sharing metrics and having leadership that are aware of other departments issues and goals. Also giving everyone an option for feedback and communication, however that looks. There can be some great ideas floating around out there but you don’t know unless you can encourage them or find a spot for them.

Yes it does!

We actually do this as well. Once a month we also have a catered lunch where we meet with another team to build those relationshps and just go over things that can help us all to work more effeciently.

Looking for respectful ways to manage helping people in need of a job or seeking mentorship. I get 3-4 requests a week from mutual contacts asking if I can connect with a former colleague (always broad). Typically the ask is a 30-45 min call. I’ve been laid off, I know how hard a time it is, but equally am working long hours, parenting and want to reserve time for those I know. How do others manage these extra calls into their weeks?
