Optimizing Synergies Across ConAgra’s Supply Chain

The Tauber team, led by Isabel and Rachel, is exploring a new concept in our inbound supply chain to our Frozen foods plants. They are evaluating the synergies, in a Post COVID world, where we have created more flexibility and redundancy in our supply chain, to optimize the inbound flow of materials. This could unlock significant savings to our supply chain.
I have been particularly impressed with their balance of technical and business acumen skills; both of which are critical when tackling a network project like theirs………..
