Webinar: How to build supply chain resilience?
About the event
Nine in ten manufacturers agree that the supply chain will remain under pressure in both 2023 and 2024. The rising cost of transport, shortages of materials and global supply chain disruptions impacted manufacturing in an unprecedented way. What immediate steps businesses can take to mitigate these challenges, and what is the mid and long-term plan to build a resilient supply chain that can withstand disruptions? Manufacturers are acting by diversifying their suppliers, changing their contracts, moving their supply base to more familiar markets and investing in technologies that make them more agile and able to respond faster to any disruptions. During this webinar, we will try to answer what the sector can do to manage the risk and thrive.
