ThroughPut Inc., the Industrial AI Supply Chain company, has announced the addition of Eric West to its Board of Advisors. Eric West is known for his contributions pushing manufacturing technology frontiers across Transportation for Mobility, Robotics, Aviation, Defense and Industrial Transformation, while developing business models and corporate strategies for this new millennium.
“We are pleased to welcome Eric West to Throughput’s Advisory Board,” announced Ali Raza, the CEO of ThroughPut Inc. “Eric’s transformational ideas and deep understanding of system integrations and capabilities will help strengthen ThroughPut’s roadmap and further accelerate our innovation strategy. His visionary business acumen across the transportation spectrum will also help ThroughPut further identify and develop key strategic partnerships to open new revenue streams.”
“I remain truly inspired by the way ThroughPut’s AI Software, ELI, is able to unify data from disparate sources and produce actionable insights to deliver holistic results with complete visibility across the entire value stream,” expressed Eric. “As AI Resiliency has become a true differentiation in business, and as our understanding of what it means to be resilient has matured, it has also become a multi-headed hydra of a challenge to commit to improving supply chains, manufacturing and operations. I look forward to working with the ThroughPut team on enhancing exceptional supply chain technology to produce confidence in not just forecasting through greater transparency, but true demand sensing for improved real-time demand pull and the subsequent democratization of communications across internal and external owners and partners alike,” said Eric.
Seth Page, ThroughPut’s Chief Operations Officer and Head of Strategic Partnerships at ThroughPut Inc. added, “At ThroughPut, we are focusing on enhancing our product capabilities using strategic inputs and innovation suggestions from our esteemed Advisory Board Members, as well as other leading domain experts including our investors, partners, R&D teams, and customer feedback. Eric understands the complex nuances of factory floor operations and how they play a role in the highly-interconnected, multi-nodal, systemic end-to-end Supply Chain. Equally as important, he understands the drivers and connectivity from the operationally-managed shop-floor, up to the financial-managed top-floor.”
Eric’s career started on the manufacturing floor of the BLACKHAWK Helicopter, and moved towards DARPA-funded R&D projects and now more lately in external-focused resources across open innovation at Harman, professional services at Samsung, and strategic technology partnerships at Ford.
