F163: Supply Chain Transformation – From Globalization to Regionalization
*This conference session requires registration and payment. Click here to register/add session to your registration.
The many disruptions that all global manufactures experienced because of COVID, forced many to reexamine their approach to manufacturing and resourcing. This presentation will cover the pains of navigation, sourcing, and distribution delays on a global scale. It will then explain the wide-spread transformation of business, where manufacturers are currently experiencing great added value from regionalizing manufacturing and material resourcing. Post-covid, manufacturers are better prepared to deliver to customers in all regions because they have set up "local" shops and are utilizing more vendor resources. Manufactures are no longer beholden to just one supplier in one location. Customers are now receiving faster delivery times and, in some cases, lower costs.
