Toward Resilient Supply Chains in a Post Shock Era Webinar
Long before COVID-19 created chaos in every supply chain, there was a strong need to rethink the industry’s supply chains. Unfortunately, in early 2020 the virus hit the world with unprecedented fury, exposing massive weakness in the global supply chain, most publicly medical material. While the U.S is becoming more self-sufficient in medical material, we recognize the gaps in many other industries. The Suez Canal container ship incident again reminded us that the chain has weak links. In this webinar learn what continues to cause supply chain disruption, as well as how you can mitigate risks for your own company. Tuesday, April 20, 2021 | 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. EDT
