Supply chains have evolved significantly over the last decade, but the need for continuous re-imagination remains as the complex challenges are here to stay. Suppliers must also evolve and transform: from being raw material suppliers to high-tech manufacturing partners. This implies a broader definition that a modern supply chain is designed to deliver more than goods. It must address customers' supply needs holistically — delivering sustainable, compliant, and traceable products while introducing smart, risk-resilient manufacturing systems.
In this webinar, you will discover:
- How in-region manufacturing can significantly enhance supply resilience.
- How fostering a risk management culture can boost transparency throughout the supply chain.
- How supply chains evolve towards more agility in pilot initiatives
