It is a very exciting time for those of us passionate about manufacturing and supply chain. Undoubtedly, we have never worked harder proactively managing the unprecedented demand and supply volatility, and so appreciate your supply chain resources. I am hearing that they are taking off for better opportunities, and you won’t want to lose your best talent during what will be a lengthy and supply chain intensive COVID-19 recovery!

As manufacturing increasingly returns to the U.S., as consumers and businesses expect a superior, customized, rapid delivery of products and services, as technological advances become commonplace, as the general public sees the value of essential businesses and the diversity of manufacturing and supply chain, it will be a great ride! Are you shaping your future or waiting for it to happen to you? Join me in a webinar to hear more.

One Tip to Implement This Week:

Simply start thinking about the future of manufacturing and supply chain in your industry, your region, and as they relate to technological advances and innovation. Bring your team together to get them thinking about the future, new ideas, and how to proactively position your company for success. A LOT can be accomplished simply by refocusing attention to thinking proactively, creatively and with a focus on the future. Will there be opportunities to pick up new business, design new products and open new markets as firms want to bring manufacturing capability back to the U.S. and closer to customers? What do your customers need that they haven’t thought about yet that would help them be more successful?
