Co-founder & CEO of fictiv Dave Evans Talks Supply Chain Realities on EMS@C-Level

EMS@C-LEVEL · 17 Apr 2023 · 25m

What this episode covers

Dave Evans, co-founder and CEO of fictiv, discusses the permanent shift in supply chain dynamics, arguing that the industry is no longer returning to a pre-pandemic 'normal' but is instead in a state of continuous disruption driven by trade wars, pandemics, and geopolitical tensions. He explains how fictiv’s digital platform enables companies to run simulations for speed, quality, and price, allowing for rapid switching between manufacturing locations like the US, China, and India to maintain resilience. Evans highlights the transition from single-user digitization to collaborative, team-based tools that provide end-to-end visibility and the ability to execute backup plans (Plans B, C, and D) at speed, particularly in response to recent banking failures and rising interest rates.

    Ep. 15 | The Emergence of the Virtual Supply Chain in a COVID-19 World

    Mark Burr-Lonnon of Mouser Electronics, Dave Doherty of Digi-Key, and Frank McKay of Jabil discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the shift to virtual supply chains and e-commerce in the electronics industry. The panelists explain how distributors are adapting by stocking more inventory for new product introductions (NPI) and providing rich technical content to support remote engineers, while Jabil emphasizes the importance of early engagement in design for manufacturing and supply chain transparency. They highlight the resilience of the supply chain despite disruptions in commercial air freight and regional lockdowns, noting that engineers are increasingly relying on digital tools and anonymous purchasing to navigate component shortages.

    38 - Jesse Genet CEO of Lumi

    Jesse Genet, CEO of Lumi, explains how her previous experience with Kickstarter fulfillment failures and breakage inspired her to build a digital platform for packaging procurement and supply chain management. She details Lumi’s model of connecting brands with a global network of manufacturers while digitizing critical workflows like proof approvals and spec management to eliminate data integrity issues. Genet identifies the ideal customer as scaling e-commerce brands facing supply chain complexity, rather than early-stage startups, and advocates for greater price transparency in the traditionally opaque packaging industry.
