Abstract

Today's manufacturing environments are more complex and inter-dependent than ever before. Outsourcing and nearshoring have enabled lower labor and component costs, but have also introduced a new set of challenges for brand owners trying to manage risk and maintain control of total landed costs.

In this on demand videocast, listen to three of today's leading supply chain practitioners--Tom Linton, SVP and CPO at Flextronics; Thomas Choi, Professor of Supply Chain Management at Arizona State University, School of Business; and Rich Becks, General Manager, High Technology at E2open--for an action-oriented conversation on managing supply chain risk by building flexibility and transparency across all tiers of your global supply chain.

 

In this webinar, our speakers addressed the following questions:


How do I identify and manage disruptions that occur at my second and third-tier suppliers?

How do I build visibility, flexibility, and resiliency into my current supply chain operations?
What systems and technologies are available to equip my suppliers (and my suppliers' suppliers) with the information needed to resolve disruptions quickly?
