Companies are to a high degree dependent on reliable and smooth procedures in their supply chains. However, global sourcing and continuous optimization of inventory efficiency have led to an increase in supply chain complexity and thus to a rise in vulnerability to interruptions. For this reason, proactive risk management based on real-time data is essential in order to be able to react quickly and flexibly. At the same time, there are discussions about whether supply chains need to be “re-globalized” or “glo-calized” in order to be able to successfully meet the challenges
of rising complexity, political uncertainties and the necessity to reduce CO2 emissions. Which approaches are the most promising?
We will discuss these and other questions in this session.
