In this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I chat with Jen Chew, Vice President of Solutions and Consulting at Bristlecone, about the real-world intersection of AI, sustainability, and supply chain strategy.
We dig into how AI has moved from hype to practical implementation, where companies are seeing real wins in supply chain planning, and why sustainability doesn’t have to come at a financial cost, it should drive efficiency and resilience. Jen shares insights from her work with global multinationals, including how data readiness, smarter sourcing strategies, and the right skills development are critical for future-proofing supply chains.
We also cover:
* The difference between AI and generative AI in supply chains
* How AI is changing sales and operations planning (SNOP)
* Why sourcing strategies are under pressure from new tariffs and regulations
* How companies can spot meaningful AI opportunities
* What role tools like SAP Joule and open-source AI could play
If you want to build a smarter, more sustainable supply chain using AI and real data-driven strategies, you’ll get plenty of value from this conversation.
