To kick off our supply chain resiliency value series, we are excited to share an interview with Mirna Elnar, CEO Acura Spa Systems Inc.  Thanks to Mirna for sharing her expertise at the  APICS Inland Empire Executive Panel & Networking Symposium panel is Spring!   

Mirna is responding to a question related to supply chain resiliency.  In essence, the key question for manufacturers is how to be competitive with overseas manufacturers in low cost countries.  Clearly, we are NOT likely to be competitive on cost (especially labor cost) alone.  However, all is not lost!

In her comments, Mirna provides several ideas and strategies for how to navigate these rough waters successfully.  

                                                   

Success Responds to Resilience and Repetition
Our most successful clients build innovation into their daily routine.  It is no accident that they are the most resilient as conditions change.  In today’s Amazonian environment which is full of volatility and changing conditions, resiliency has become a “must”!

Mirna also gave a compelling story about exporting to Brazil.  Instead of giving up when she found out the tariffs were unfair, she devised a way to collaborate with a company in Brazil and find a win-win opportunity.  We walked away thinking if she could turn an unfair advantage into an opportunity, why aren’t we looking further for these innovative ideas?
