WEBINAR: Managing in a Supply Constrained Environment

What does a sea of trucks parked in a former NASCAR speedway look like?
Ford could tell you… Over 60,000 F-150 pickups are sitting there awaiting essential parts to be completed.

Recent aerial footage of the Kentucky speedway has shaken the world, displaying the magnitude of the disruptions manufacturers are facing since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Severe supply constraints have created significant challenges for supply chain executives and managers across the globe. The resulting backlog of demand for finished items impacted by supply constraints has made it exceedingly difficult for companies to maintain customer service levels and stabilize operations.

It is now more than ever crucial for companies to challenge the status quo in their supply chain management and embrace a new planning paradigm that will bring agility in a world filled with greater uncertainty.

Join us for this webinar hosted by Scott Luton and Greg White and featuring Erik Bush, CEO and co-founder of Demand Driven Technologies, where they will expose the core issues companies are facing when encountering supply constraints from their vendors. Erik will also cover a range of disruptive methods and tactics that companies can implement to gain better control of their supply chain while improving operational performance.
