In this episode of Leveraged Supply Chains, Andrew Stroup talks with Lisa Anderson, President of LMA Consulting Group, about the gap between what mid-market manufacturers plan and what their suppliers actually deliver. Lisa has 30+ years advising manufacturers on SIOP (Sales Inventory Operations Planning) and operational excellence. She wrote the book on SIOP. She’s seen this failure mode at hundreds of companies.

The core issue: ERP systems capture what you planned. They don’t capture what your supplier committed to this morning, whether that promise date drifted last week, or whether that lead time assumption is six months out of date. SIOP built on stale supplier data produces false confidence. That’s the real supply chain risk most planning conversations skip over.
