Supply Chain Transformation Imperative | HCLTech

Virtual Think Tank - Manufacturing

Overview

After the pandemic arrived, the globalized supply chains were perhaps the most severely impacted among all enterprise functions. And while there might be respite from COVID-19 at some stages, the rise in nationalism and protectionism would change how companies approach their supply chains in the coming time.

They must plug the supply chain visibility gaps that were exposed as supplies were disrupted due to the COVID-19 outbreak and its long-term impact. The focus now needs to shift from products to data and from offshoring to, at least, partial near-shoring. Risk mitigation needs as much attention as cost optimization. But above all, they need the right partner—having the required experience and holding a good track record—to navigate them through this radical transformation.

Discover how the existing supply chain resiliency had been exposed by the pandemic and the possible future state of global supply chains—from the manufacturing services industry leaders and the leading technology solution providers at the ‘Virtual Think Tank’ event.
