Developing Resilient Supply Networks
Senior industry leaders will share their insights
The Covid-19 pandemic and on-going trade tensions continue to impact supply chains across the world as many businesses attempt to juggle their international production sites alongside geopolitical considerations and events. In turn we have seen a growing trend towards reshoring as businesses attempt to reduce costs and strive for risk-free supply chains. With many companies redesigning their global operations and turning to regional hubs, it is a crucial period to see if shorter global supply and logistic chains enable countries to become increasingly self-sufficient and independent.
Digitalisation and advanced industrial technologies will play an integral part in sustaining economic growth and improving productivity and efficiency across industries. The use of digital tools to seamlessly create supply chain transparency and resilient operations that are safeguarded against future global crises is more important than ever.
The Financial Times, in partnership with Analog Devices, is pleased to present this panel briefing for digital transformation leaders from industrial sectors. Drawing on speakers’ expertise across key industries, we explored how companies are using digital tools to increase supply chain resiliency and why so many are turning to production localisation. Will this create opportunities for more independent and self-reliant economies?
