Date & Time
Thursday, October 22, 2020, 5:20 PM - 5:50 PM
Speakers
Description
- Everyone across the chain is dealing with uncertainty, including your customer
- Uncertainty translates into questions about near-term and longer-term demand, financial stability and sustainability, personal risk
- Need to balance internal needs, such as cost and working-capital management with the need to keep serving customers
- Supply chain needs to manage to a delicate balance – just enough material but not too much, just enough production, but not too much
- Supply needs to address multiple external/internal challenges to achieve this: raw material availability, logistics provisions, factory utilization
- Cross-border and cross-region considerations escalate the complexity of the challenges
