THE TOPIC
Becoming a More Agile and Adaptable Manufacturing Organization
The current business environment has made it abundantly clear that agility and adaptability are emerging as the most important characteristics manufacturers can develop, not just to weather the current crisis but to emerge and thrive in the digital economy.
Companies must quickly pivot across the entirety of their business – from product development through their supply chain, production, and service. The ability to rapidly adapt to changing business conditions is critical. The good news is that it’s not too late to incorporate strategies and technologies to create agile, adaptable, and resilient operations.
- How can advanced analytics help grow revenue?
- How can modern cloud-based business applications play a pivotal role in enabling agility in supply chain and manufacturing operations?
- How are manufacturers leveraging advanced technologies such as mixed-reality, IoT, and digital twins to increase agility and adaptability?
The Manufacturing Café Series is tailored to senior leaders responsible for operations, human resources, and manufacturing services.
Job titles include but are not limited to: COOs, VPs, Heads, Directors, and General Managers responsible for Operations, Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality and the like.
Attendance is by invitation only and is of course, complimentary for those invited.
