Supply Chain Briefing

July 8, 2019

With all that is going on with China in terms of trade wars, currencies, natural resources and more, it begs the question of what we should be thinking about doing business with China. Is it prudent? Thanks to APICS Inland Empire and international business attorney and expert, John Tulac, we are sharing APICS-IE’s webinar on “How any Company Can Survive a Trade War with China”. 

Note: The webinar is about 60 minutes.

What Should We Consider and/or What Impacts Could Arise?

We should be aware and considering potential impacts on our business. Think about any direct ties to China with supply as well as indirect ties with our extended supply chain. Undoubtedly, everyone has at least an indirect tie to China, and so we all better think about impacts and implications!

Stay on top of trends and highlights. Get involved with organizations such as APICS-IE to participate in events and network with resources. For example, mark your calendars and join us at our executive panel and networking symposium on “Collaborating for Advanced Manufacturing & Supply Chain Success”. 

Also, contact experts such as John Tulac to help navigate more complex situations. Remember, a penny saved that costs you thousands and hundreds of thousands down-the-line is by no means “a penny saved”. 

Certainly, the topic of trade wars relates squarely in the resilient supply chain camp. If you are interested in a resilient supply chain assessment, contact us. You’ll find more information on these types of topics on our resilient supply chain series.
