In this Supply Chain Byte, Lisa Anderson discusses two recent examples: a fire affecting a medical device distribution center and another involving a cold storage facility. Both highlight why manufacturers and distributors need more than a static plan.
Geopolitical uncertainty, supply chain disruptions, talent challenges, and rapidly evolving technologies are reshaping manufacturing and distribution. In this ASCM webinar, Lisa Anderson explores the trends influencing supply chain strategy and explains how resilient, proactive organizations can turn complexity into competitive advantage.
As the conflict disrupts key trade routes and energy supplies, the confectionery sector is among the first to feel the strain. How vulnerable are manufacturers, and what can be done to protect the industry? Lisa Anderson discusses supply chain protection and safeguarding supplies to ensure availability.
Lisa Anderson is drawing attention to the growing importance of Greenland and its role in safeguarding global supply chains in an increasingly volatile environment.
Medical products manufacturing is gaining momentum as companies want to build resilience to mitigate risk in the supply chain. Executives have realized that they must better control their end-to-end supply chain to ensure supply as geopolitical risks, vulnerabilities, and disruptions continue to arise while tariffs also push companies to build domestic capacity.
In today’s volatile world, manufacturers must ensure their supply chains are both secure and resilient. In this Supply Chain Byte, Lisa Anderson explains how it starts upstream with your suppliers—who are no longer just vendors, but partners in stability and success.
A cargo spill can cause more than a mess — it can delay shipments, raise safety concerns and disrupt the supply chain. In this Supply Chain Byte, Lisa Anderson breaks down how to plan for the unexpected, coordinate with partners and adjust plans through SIOP to minimize disruption.
Supply chains are evolving at a rapid pace as global risks increase. To achieve success with this transformation, companies must roll out advanced technologies and develop strategies to mitigate down-the-line risks and impacts such as access to critical minerals and energy.
In this Supply Chain Byte, Lisa Anderson shares why cyber threats are becoming one of the biggest risks to manufacturing and distribution operations, and what leaders can do to stay ahead.
As companies reconfigure supply chains and expand domestic manufacturing capabilities, it is an ideal opportunity to embrace technology and automation to help metal fabricators and machinists offset increased costs associated with tariffs.
