Abstract:
 Nearly every major company experiences one or more significant supply disruptions each year. Despite an extensive focus on supplier risk management by many companies, these costly surprises remain a top management concern.
Efforts focused on even intensive supplier collaboration have failed to protect companies from supply chain risk. OPS Rules Chairman, MIT Professor David Simchi-Levi and OPS Rules CEO, Mike Romeri, will review strategic improvements companies should make with respect to supply chain flexibility and operational transparency.
These leading techniques ensure that a firm's supply chain is as resilient as possible by reducing the impact of disruptions and ensuring that adverse trends are identified and resolved earlier so that supply disruptions can be minimized or avoided altogether.
An in-depth discussion of The Risk Exposure Index Case Study will be included in this videocast.
Not to be missed!
