One of the best podcasts on Supplychain management. Points spoken are most relevant to the current day pain points in the manufacturing industry, especially with regard to spare part management. Significant pain points being
-Having the right spares at the right place and the right time.
-Sourcing obsolete parts from the OEMs
-Lead time for procurement
-Large MOQs
