Supply Chain Resilience: Haier's CSCO on Post-JIT Strategies | Unfiltered Freight

In an era where "just ship it" has become "just hope it ships," supply chains need more than just-in-time efficiency—they need resilience. In this eye-opening Unfiltered Freight episode, Eytan Buchman sits down with Federico Marchesi, Chief Supply Chain Officer at Haier Europe, who explains why just-in-time manufacturing is fundamentally broken and what smart companies are doing instead. "In supply chain, stock is the ultimate edge," Marchesi reveals, challenging the CFO-pleasing notion that lean inventories are always best. After shipping 40-50K containers annually between Asia and Europe, he's learned that strategic redundancy isn't waste. It's insurance.
