A proactive approach to supply chain disruptions in aerospace and defense
How companies are using digital software to anticipate supply chain issues and dampen their impact
Late deliveries and lost revenue due to supply chain issues remain far too common in the A&D industry. Practices such as diversifying suppliers and buying safety stock can help, but isn’t there a better way? This session will examine the results of a Siemens supply chain survey conducted by Aviation Week to explain current trends and consider how companies can embrace digital transformation and invest in market intelligence to proactively manage their supply chain.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- What the most critical A&D supply chain issues are
- Why you need to be proactive and "leap left" to combat these issues before they happen
- How you can get started using market intelligence to eliminate outdated processes
- How leveraging digital transformation can help the industry establish a connected, fully traceable cloud-based supply chain
- What you can hope to achieve by adopting a new approach
