Disruptions have forced manufacturers to pivot from Just in Time to “just in case.” Manufacturers work closely with partners to better understand threats and opportunities and plan for the worst. But staying close to a larger and more diversified supply base adds complexity and risk. Manufacturers are left building up safety stock or expediting material, crushing profits. To drive transformation that delivers ROI, manufacturers need to be able to connect data across their technology and process silos, analyze that data to develop insights, and then drive action from those insights. Many manufacturers invest heavily in collecting and analyzing but miss the action step. The companies leading the digital manufacturing revolution are tuned into the right data and use it to drive their ongoing operations.   Check out this webinar with our friends from ServiceNow to learn: · Why supply chain innovation could become the biggest competitive differentiator between success and failure in the future · Managing supply chain exceptions in the time of disruption · How to manage large complex supplier logistics and customer ecosystems      

The only thing certain in life is that nothing is certain.” So said Roman philosopher Pliny the Elder nearly 2,000 years ago. For supply chain professionals this quote definitely rings true today. Unpredictable shifts in demand and disruptions to supply are becoming more frequent and more severe. Over the last few years, much of our focus has been on building resilient supply chains to prepare for the inevitable, unforeseen challenges ahead. However, some industry leaders are striving to go beyond resiliency to actually take advantage of future disruptions. They see the upside of supply chain uncertainty as an opportunity to capture share from slower competitors. In this Supply Chain Now webinar, hosts Scott Luton and Kim Reuter welcome special guests John DeSarbo and Bharathi Shankar from ZS to explore how industry leaders are capitalizing on uncertainty by building agility into their operations, rethinking traditional approaches to supply chain management, and utilizing AI and advanced analytics to uncover opportunities to capitalize on changing market dynamics.
