What will Trump’s tariffs mean for global supply chains? Our CEO Jonathan Barrett spoke to James McLoughlin from Logistics Manager Magazine earlier this month ⬇️ The reality is that there is no single outcome for supply chain leaders to strategise and plan for, and no one answer: “Higher tariffs on finished goods to discourage cross-border purchases could drive domestic demand for local products, but might encourage companies to import raw materials in bulk from overseas to circumvent higher tariffs. This will create a web of exceptions and unexpected outcomes.” Potential policy details and timings create a myriad of plausible scenarios – so getting ahead and staying ahead has never been more crucial.

Manufacturers are facing uncertain times, particularly where the supply chain is concerned. In fact, the only constant is change whether that’s supply disruption arising from geopolitical tensions or a rapidly changing labour market. From our successful application of simulation technology in the most complex and critical situations in the defence sector, we saw an opportunity to help enterprises to confidently navigate strategic change using foresight from synthetic environments. Our CEO Jonathan Barrett spoke to Manufacturing Today about what the future of supply chain management might look like if leaders used synthetic worlds to power their business decisions.

Read Kallikor CEO Jonathan Barrett’s response to Guinness’ #StoutDrought in Sky News below. Is Gen Z to blame, or should businesses of all sizes be looking at how they can improve their planning capabilities to take advantage of the inevitable ebbs and flows of consumer demand?

Is Gen Z to blame for the Guinness #StoutDrought this December? Great to see our CEO Jonathan Barrett in Sky News this morning, explaining why outdated planning capabilities are the main culprit, not young adults ‘splitting the G’. Guinness’ supply challenges show that even the biggest brands can be caught out by sudden changes in demand and logistics shortfalls. Part of the answer are AI-powered digital twins and advanced simulation capabilities. At Kallikor, we're enabling businesses to optimise their operations, turning potential disruptions into opportunities for growth. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/d5stQAS4 #Kallikor #Guinness #SupplyDemand #SupplyChains

📈 Navigating supply chain volatility: What can we learn from Guinness?   Discrepancies between supply and demand are becoming increasingly commonplace - even for the world’s most iconic brands. This week, we saw reports of Guinness’ struggles to meet demand this festive period following a successful demand gen campaign - you might be familiar with the ‘splitting the G’ trend across social media - to broaden their appeal and drive momentum with a younger audience.    However, they are now facing “exceptional demand” and the quantity of Guinness pubs can buy in the lead up to Christmas has been limited by its maker Diageo.   ➡️ How confident are you in your ability to adapt when a campaign performs better than expected? ➡️ Are your supply chains agile enough to adapt without damaging customer expectations?    If the answer is no, contact us to find out how we can change that: https://lnkd.in/eFNCxVCH #Guinness #SupplyAndDemand #StoutDrought

🚀 Going for growth means scaling with a stellar team behind you. We’re pleased to have welcomed several new starters to Kallikor recently, bringing a host of expertise and experience to the exciting projects we’re working on. Let’s meet them: ➡️ Sawda Onanuga - Software Engineer With a background in software engineering for healthtech and traveltech start-ups, Sawda sits in our software team, is integral to growing and scaling the products at Kallikor and has a particular interest in machine learning’s potential to have a positive impact on the world. ➡️ Naomi Arnold - Modelling Engineer  Naomi also joins us on the software team. With a PhD in Computer Science from Queen Mary University of London, Naomi is experienced with modelling and exploring connected systems to solve counterintuitive problems. ➡️ Benedict Purnell-Mullick - Project Coordinator Before joining the team at Kallikor, Benedict serviced global tech clients for DHL, acquiring a deep understanding of customer pain points and international supply chain operations. #Kallikor #NewStarters #AI #Robotics #SoftwareEngineering

Sustainability and productivity. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. Our CEO Jonathan Barrett spoke to Green Business Journal about how new AI-powered simulation technology can: ✔️ Accelerate replacement of new, cleaner, automation technology by providing greater confidence in the business case ✔️ Optimise operations to slash energy consumption, excess packaging, waste and transportation costs ✔️ Provide foresight of the cross-organisation consequences of change, supporting stakeholder engagement Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eBShJNUF #Kallikor #Automation #SupplyChain #SupplyChainSustainability #Robotics

Disruptive newcomers are harnessing robotics and AI to disrupt traditional supply chains - and they’ll leave companies without it behind. How can incumbents stay ahead of the competition and confidently adopt new technologies in this uncertain fast-moving environment, especially when margins are tight and gaining stakeholder buy-in is tough? In the first of our ‘The robots are coming’ video series, Craig Sears-Black looks at the key barriers holding businesses back from adopting robotics and automation at scale.

Why is automation the key to solving today’s supply chain challenges? What are the sticking points of implementation? And how can simulation technology be used to understand automation’s impact before investing? The discussion last week concluded that with labour shortages, unpredictability, volatile demand and sustainability pressures - we’re in an endless pursuit of efficiency and productivity that requires a new level of decision intelligence to succeed. The implication is that stakeholders need a means to confidently make decisions based on rigorous simulation.   We looked at this - and much more - in our session with Hatmill - Supply Chain & Logistics Advisors | B Corp™ and Logistics Manager Magazine. Stay tuned for the recording, and ask us about a demo of Kallikor’s simulation platform ‘Adaption’ in the meantime. #Kallikor #Hatmill #AI #Automation #Robotics
