We welcome to the podcast Joe Dudas, executive vice president of Operations at Inspirity Health Partners and division chair at the Mayo Clinic, whose dual role provides him with sharp and applied insight into managing volatility in the healthcare supply chain arena. The conversation provides us with a pragmatic framework that prioritizes patients and navigates disruption.
With ‘resiliency’ earning top spot in the minds of most supply chain practitioners these days, we wanted to understand what resiliency looks like from an operations standpoint. Together with Guy Courtin, Joe unpacks a new ‘triple constraint’ in the relationship between supply, demand and volatility, while getting a glimpse into their ProMat 2023 on-floor seminar.
Drawing on Joe’s wealth of experience, this episode provides guidance for healthcare supply chain practitioners and other high cost of failure sectors in developing a strategy that assumes volatility, seeks balance and pursues continuous improvement.
