"Transparency and control are crucial in advancing supply chain performance and giving consumers confidence," highlights Rose Elphrick-Darling, of the Centre for Regional & Rural Futures, at Deakin University. 

Rose joins us on episode 14 of the Beyond Visibility Lounge and shares her insights on the transformative potential of viewing supply chain visibility as a value-adding activity, rather than just a cost center. This perspective shift is essential for driving innovation, sustainability, and resilience in the supply chain industry.

This conversation further highlights:

• Logistics activities and supply chain management are often seen as costs rather than value-adding activities. However, supply chains can indeed add significant value through enhanced visibility.
