Fixing the Decision Speed Gap in Modern Supply Chains - with Joris Wijpkema of Optilogic

Supply chain organizations still struggle to respond to major disruptions because their core planning systems can't evaluate structural options or network‑level changes at the speed required. In this episode, Joris Wijpkema, Executive Vice President for Solutions and Strategy at Optilogic, joins host Marilie Fouché and examines how a dedicated, high‑compute modeling layer enables teams to run thousands of scenarios in minutes and make faster, better‑aligned decisions. The discussion highlights how leaders can strengthen resilience by unifying data foundations, building trust in modeling before a crisis, and integrating design‑grade optimization directly into planning cycles.
