Session Details"Managing a Connected Supply Chain – Key Imperatives & Considerations"On Wednesday, September 25th at 11:00a.m. during Workshop B: The Complete Supply Chain

Supply chains continue to become more complex, globally distributed and volatile.  Whether it is demand variability, fulfillment risks, natural calamities or commodities shortages, traditional and siloed supply chain approaches are inadequate for managing the supply chain network end to end.  The speaker will examine some of the key imperatives for end to end visibility, alignment and synchronization and discuss practical considerations as automotive companies launch their supply chain transformation initiatives.
