The Economic Times Supply Chain & Logistics Webinar

unwiredcp2020-09-15T06:05:56+00:00

4 September 2020 | 4pm to 5:30pm IST

The Coronavirus pandemic, which is oddly reminiscent of the Spanish Flu that struck India in the month of June in 1918, has left businesses reimagining ways to continue operations and spruce up activity as the country returns to normalcy. According to a report from rating agency Acuite, which is certified by SEBI and the RBI, India approximately lost $4.5 billion a day during the first 21-days lockdown period amassing to a total of $100 billion.

Till now, business leaders have been concentrating on solving the immediate challenges required to keep the business as stable as possible and respond to the day to day challenges. However, with the realisation that the virus could extend its stay in its deadly format amidst the human population, businesses need to focus on building future-proof strategies using new technology solutions. These strategies will not only increase resilience, protect operations, and support employees through the crisis, but will also help sustain a competitive advantage to accelerate business growth once economies start to rebound.

This webinar will focus on the many facets of the supply chain for the manufacturing domain. It is designed to deliver a summary and practical information to help you connect the dots from risk management, capacity building and enhancing results to your supply chain planning and execution.
