About the Conference
The covid-19 pandemic and multiple phases of full or partial lockdowns across geographies has created serious disruptions across the value chain. Past two years has shown glimpses of the VUCA world. Closed boundaries has created shortages of raw material and companies started rethinking on a healthy ratio of regional Vs Global procurement. Slowed or few time completely stopped manufacturing units were sending ripples in the market. Truck drivers’ issues and migrant workers severely affected logistics & distribution. Supply-Demand imbalances have pushed manufacturers, distributors across the sectors to face various challenges including commercial, operational, financial and organizational. Adoption of new technology (AI, robotics, ML, Drones etc.) has new insights to manage supply chain disruptions and led to unprecedented adoption of digital supply chain.
