Supply Chain & Operations

Supply chain and operations capabilities are now the source of a company's competitiveness. In an era of rising geopolitical risks and economic security, this trend is only getting stronger. With the rapid development of technologies such as AI, and the need for a sustainability perspective, how should we approach supply chain and operations? If we can convert this into customer value, our competitive advantage will become even stronger.
