Hear from F4SS member and board chair Tom Kent on why F4SS events are so beneficial! "What makes F4SS unlike any other collaborative organization is its focus on the connection between FMCGs and their External Manufacturing Partners. This industry is growing rapidly, creating some exciting opportunities for both customer and supplier. Through the F4SS organization and the Connect events in particular, I can benchmark my External Supply Chain processes and outcomes with those of my peers, while incorporating the input of the External Manufacturing base. At each event, the mix of speakers, roundtable discussions, and networking events always leave me with new ideas and opportunities to pursue. I have yet to find anything more relevant to me and my role in Kimberly-Clark." See how F4SS and Fall Connect can impact your external manufacturing business .

Join the conversation at F4SS Fall Connect with Professor of Supply Chain Management, Jeff Smith at Virginia Commonwealth University, on Tuesday, November 5th, from 10:45 AM - 11:45 AM CST as he explores the role of artificial intelligence in the supply chain. In this session titled, "AI and Circular Supply Chain Management: Revolutionizing Sustainability or Complicating the Journey," Smith will examine how AI can both advance and complicate circular supply chain goals, raising questions about its impact on sustainability and efficiency. Circular supply chain management (CSCM) seeks to enhance resource efficiency through materials recycling, reuse, and regeneration. Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into CSCM offers benefits like logistics optimization, demand prediction, and resource allocation improvement. However, this integration may pose challenges such as over-reliance on technology, data privacy issues, and the need for significant investments.
