This session examines how OEMs and suppliers are rethinking traditional supply chain models to build greater resilience, flexibility, and responsiveness. Attendees will explore how organizations are adapting to supply chain fragility by redesigning production ecosystems that balance cost, risk, speed, and reliability across regions and tiers. Through a cross‑industry lens, this discussion will focus on strategies for building diversified supplier networks, improving multi‑tier visibility, and strengthening risk management frameworks. Panelists will address rising expectations for transparency, data sharing, and collaboration between OEMs and suppliers, and how these expectations are reshaping procurement, quality, and operational decision‑making. The session will provide actionable insight into how manufacturers can future‑proof their supply chains while maintaining performance, compliance, and customer trust.Show MoreClick the title to see all details
