Talking Supply Chain: Why automation feasibility should guide supply chain decisions

As supply chain leaders confront rising labor costs, workforce shortages, and global uncertainty, automation is increasingly seen as both an opportunity and a risk. In this episode of Talking Supply Chain, host Brian Straight speaks with Jeff Bornino, president of North America at TMX Transform, and Nick De Klerk, senior director, about why automation decisions must start with feasibility, not enthusiasm for the latest technology. The discussion emphasizes that rushing into large capital investments without fully understanding operational needs often leads to costly mistakes that can burden organizations for decades.
