MESA Smart Manufacturing Community: Smart Connected Supply Chain-Ensuring Traceability through the Supply Chain

Description

Come share your experiences, stories, questions, and what you have learned in a safe, non-commercial environment. We seek to understand the state-of-the market, understand what companies have done that has or has not worked, documenting questions that MESA and the community can help answer. Overall, the goal is to accelerate each participant’s learning and progress toward Smart Manufacturing. 

Topic: Ensuring Traceability through the Supply Chain

Nearly every manufacturer is responsible for traceability of their products, whether for regulatory, country-of-origin confirmation, sustainability reporting, or customer and consumer protection. Yet it's not as easy as it sounds.

• Are you under pressure to ensure trusted traceability of your products?
• With the current supply chain disruptions, is this a bigger issue for you now?
• How do you know the provenance of the materials in your products, and how critical is that for your success?
• Does your company have traceability more than one level of suppliers deep?
• What technologies are you using for this: distributed ledger or blockchain, industry eCommerce platforms, homegrown systems, or other technologies?

Join us to discuss what's working and where you still face challenges.
