The Resilient Supply Chain Podcast is where global leaders explore how to make supply chains stronger, smarter, and more sustainable.
Hosted by Tom Raftery, technology evangelist, sustainability thought-leader, and former SAP Global VP, the show features C-suite executives, founders, and innovators from some of the world’s most influential companies. Together, we examine how organisations are building supply chains that can withstand shocks, adapt to change, and compete in a decarbonising economy.
New episodes drop every Monday at 7 a.m. CET, packed with real insight, not PR fluff.
From resilience and risk mitigation to AI-driven visibility, circular design, and ESG transformation, the podcast unpacks the data, systems, and strategies shaping global operations.
You’ll hear from the people doing the work on:
- business continuity and crisis response
- Scope 3 emissions and supply chain sustainability
- digital twins and predictive resilience
- ethical sourcing and due diligence compliance
- nearshoring, automation, and future-ready logistics
Because a supply chain can’t be sustainable unless it’s resilient, and it can’t be resilient unless it’s sustainable.
Resilient Supply Chain+ subscribers also get access to bonus episodes, including highlight reels, extra analysis, trend briefings, and other subscriber-only insights.

An autonomous truck does not create an autonomous yard. Without aligned decisions, reliable data and clear ownership, smart assets become expensive distractions.
I’m joined by Matt Yearling, CEO of YMX Logistics; Chad Fox, Manager and Delivery Lead at Miebach Consulting; and Kurt Neutgens, CEO and co-founder of Orange EV. Together, we examine why supply chain resilience still breaks down in the yard — a neglected part of logistics that can disrupt warehouse flow, transport performance and customer service.
You’ll hear how the biggest failures often sit in handoffs between inventory, warehouse, yard and transportation, where visibility exists but nobody owns the next decision. We break down why automation only works when the process is clear and dependable — and why an autonomous truck cannot coordinate the operation around it.
You might be surprised to learn that electrification may deliver the more immediate resilience gain. Kurt explains how moving from roughly 80% diesel uptime to 97–98% electric uptime can cut interruptions, remove fuelling downtime and improve fleet efficiency while reducing emissions.
The core question is simple: can your operation act on what it sees, or is the dashboard merely documenting the delay?
🎙️ Listen now for a practical look at supply chain visibility, sustainability, risk, data and the decisions required to turn technology into execution.
