Jeff,
I can only tell you what we, as an audience, were told at the actual presentation. I don't understand why you keep on asking me more and more questions. I only reported back what the Kraft VP said, and what was contained in the hand-out (his entire PowerPoint presentation).
He had a quite extensive spreadsheet showing how and where problems were occurring. I didn't realize how much that date code was used internally and externally, until then.
Jeffrey Mitchell (who I met for the first time, and who was in the audience, and who posts on SI), was also there. He also wrote a write-up on the presentation.
Listen, I don't go to these conferences anymore. I've stayed in touch with some of these speakers from various industries. It's primarily thru them that I hear about some of the stuff currently going on.
Some companies are far ahead of the game. Others aren't. There's a big worry about supply chain, across the board with all companies. So, from what I hear most of the big companies are doing contingency planning.
If you and your boss don't believe what I wrote, that's cool. It's your prerogative.
I heard enough over past couple of years that I decided it was best to start doing some personal preparation and take care of my family. I try to encourage others to at least make a minimal effort to do the same. That's why I post here. But, I'll soon be cutting back on that. I have too many other things to do.
Regards,
