ABOUT THE WEBINAR:
In a world of uncertainty, supply chains vital to society are under more pressure than ever, whether faced with a global pandemic, natural disasters, or political upheaval. In this webinar session the audience learnt from railway operators, manufacturers, and supply chain solution providers how to strengthen supply chains, so they are ready to face external impacts. How can we bolster day-to-day operations, avoid errors, and use data to improve the connection between internal processes and external partners/processes?
