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: The Materials Squeeze: Manage and Procure in the Era of Shortages

Everyone is living with supply chain challenges and shortages. What can you do to manage and procure materials more intelligently?

• How are the processes shifting to accommodate this new reality?
• What metrics and algorithms must change?
• How much stock do you need to keep at each stage as a buffer for this uncertainty?
• What factors do design, manufacturing, procurement, and materials management need to align to succeed?
• Where can new tools and automated methods realistically help?

Join us to discuss this and your supply chain challenges in these uncertain times.
