The current economic instability has left companies’ supply chains in a fragile position and supply chain executives face significant pressure to reduce cost and cut working capital. While reducing costs and destocking is always possible, the challenge is to improve the balance sheet with better efficiencies and service levels.
In response to these challenges, what can the firm do to better match supply and demand and improve supply chain and manufacturing performance?
Smart planning and scheduling tools holistically analyze and optimize supply chain and manufacturing processes. Supported by best practices, they enhance your ability to explore alternatives, understand trade-offs, respond to changes in business operations and build flexibility in the manufacturing and supply chain strategy.
We propose to explore today's challenges and solutions with a series of four webcasts focusing on key components of your supply chain and manufacturing strategy: production, inventory and supply chain.
