The pandemic has exposed deep flaws in supply chains, leading to massive business disruption. Returning to routine procurement practices may no longer be an option as greater agility and resilience are necessary to withstand future shocks to the system. What changes must be implemented to overcome gaps in supply chains and ensure their smooth operation post COVID-19?
Join us for a 45-minute virtual forum for an engaging discussion, including strategies and actionable takeaways, where we will discuss:
Preparing for the “new normal” – How do you approach recovery and continuity plans, and rethink and design supply chains?
How supply chain and procurement managers can assess areas where additive manufacturing can help boost supplies.
Identifying the key areas where you can tackle supply chain gaps and lower costs using additive manufacturing.
What is the process you can expect when leveraging additive manufacturing in your supply chain?
The discussion will be followed by a live Q&A where the panelists will answer questions.
