In this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Lenny Marano, President of the Americas for Lectra, a leading technology solutions provider for industries working with flexible materials. We delved into Lectra’s journey from its origins in CAD CAM to becoming an integrated solutions provider for apparel, furniture, automotive, and more.

Lenny shed light on how Lectra’s technology helps customers optimise their processes from planning through production. He highlighted the pivotal moments in the industry's shift from analogue to digital, explaining how innovations like AI-driven predictive maintenance and on-demand production reduce waste and improve efficiency.

We also discussed the profound impact of sustainability on Lectra’s offerings, from competitive benchmarking tools that prevent overproduction to material optimisation technologies that minimise waste. Lenny’s insights into customer-centric innovation and the importance of managing the digital thread through the value stream were particularly enlightening.

For those interested in how technology can drive both sustainability and profitability in supply chains, this episode is a must-listen.
