With economic changes on the horizon, the 2025 supply chain must be ready to adapt to commercial and economic trends that will shape—and sometimes steer—the industry. While certain disruptions are inevitable, businesses can still minimize vulnerabilities and seize opportunities with the right strategic approach. In this session, we’ll leverage insights from Enable’s State of Volume Rebates Survey to discuss how supply chain leaders can remain proactive rather than reactive in the year ahead. We’ll examine key commercial forces that are expected to influence supply chains, from evolving pricing and rebate management to strategic procurement practices that enhance resilience and drive growth.

The conversation will look at the persistent planning-versus-reality gap that defines high-volume operations – and how leaders can close it. Attendees will gain practical insights on how to: – Strengthen the connection between workforce planning and daily operational performance – Optimize productivity across sites, processes, and shifts with greater precision and accountability – Preserve…
