A World Without Waste Using AI + Better Math for Circular Supply Chains with Steve Pratt (CEO, Noodle AI)

Earth Month Exclusive featuring Steve Pratt (CEO of Noodle Al,
Co-Founder of Infosys and Regenerative Ranch aficionado) + Supply
Chain Revolution podcast to explore how better math and Al can
enable circularity in a new supply chain planning paradigm.


The way supply chain planning has been done for the last 30 years
has been under the assumption that computers were slow and data
was expensive, and so they needed to make a lot of simplifying
assumptions.. Very importantly, they ignore probabilities and
complex pattern recognition that are all allowed by this more
advanced mathematics.

Circular economy is increasingly recognized as a better
alternative to the dominant linear (take, make, and dispose)
economic model. Circular Supply Chain
Management (CSCM), which integrates the philosophy of the
circular economy into supply chain management, offers a new and
compelling perspective to the supply
chain sustainability domain.


Two aspects that make a CSCM unique: 1) its restorative and
regenerative cycles designed based on circular thinking; 2) the
vision of a zero-waste economy that is inherent in the CE
philosophy. This is CEO Steve Pratt + Noodle AI's mission -
to build and design a world without waste. Steve also walks the
talk as a farmer and student of nature, where he brings
inspiration like the Noodle culture mantra BCHILL, and planting
seeds of innovation for long-term value creation.


Steve is an O.G. Rebel and friend of the podcast, one of the
original supporters. He is an incredible technical background and
at every turn has pushed boundaries with tenacity and a 'people
and planet first' north star. His journey in consulting started
at Deloitte. He went on to start Infosys, had a brief stint at
IBM, then founded Noodle with a lingering nudge 'there has to be
a better way' and a vision of a world where nothing is wasted
where technical, natural, and human systems exist in harmony.


About Noodle: Noodle.ai software uses some of the most advanced
math on the planet to tame global supply chain chaos—so the right
stuff gets to the right place at the right time with less drama.
More importantly, Noodle's 'Value at Risk' shows you the hard
money costs of each of the millions of errors made by your
planning stack, for both demand and supply, across raw materials,
production, and distribution.


This episode is packed full of lessons in big transformation,
inspirational messages, and pragmatic reasons why circular supply
chains provide the conduit for marrying the environmental,
social, and economic benefits for change. Sectors and client
examples highlighted are from CPG, Industrial and automotive.
Everything we need exists NOW to build and empower better
decisions for a circular and inclusive world.
