To survive and grow during increasing supply chain volatility, manufacturers must continuously drive operational excellence throughout the processes they can influence the most. Shifts in sourcing and production flexibility must be considered as companies seek tariff-friendly geographies balanced close to demand. Accurate and timely demand planning is essential to run production effectively, especially with manufacturers increasingly running in mixed mode.
Manufacturers are challenged to boost production agility and quality performance as they seek to manage risk in uncertain conditions. Digital technologies, from cloud and the Internet of Things (IoT) to advanced analytics and robotics, are now necessary to drive innovation and remain competitive.
Greater importance is now placed on transparency and collective intelligence to empower manufacturing professionals to better tackle problems and improve decision-making.
