About this event
The emergence of COVID-19 and its dramatic impact on day-to-day business has highlighted the vulnerability of global supply chains to external shocks. While there are a range of factors in this crisis that remain outside of the control of companies and leaders, there are specific areas where focused efforts can have a significant impact and mitigate significant long-term disruption.
This webinar session, brought to you by Materials Handling & Scalex, is designed to provide you with best practice guidance from those working across the full length of the regional supply chain network.
Content will specifically focus on the evolving supply chain landscape in these unprecedented times and a particular focus will be placed on the need for building end-to-end solutions resilient to disruption and long-term risk.
