Virtual Round Table I Tuesday 10 November: 18:00 - 19:30 GMT
What does resiliency in manufacturing and supply chain mean? Most manufacturers have restarted their operations after the lockdown, with marginal improvements in their ability to respond to uncertainty and distress. In certain cases, customer demand has returned to pre-Covid levels, but the inherent risks are greater than before. Resiliency is not simply a resumption of operations - Resiliency like quality, should be, built into the daily processes and operations. In this way it becomes ‘the normal’.
