题目：Process Flexibility and Supply Chain Risk Mitigation: Methodologies for Designing Resilient Supply Chains
摘要:
The global supply chain is undergoing significant changes as a result of recent international tensions and pandemic-related disruptions. To mitigate the uncertainties arising from these supply shocks, supply chain operators need to effectively cushion the supply-side risks while also hedging against demand uncertainties.
In both theory and practice, process flexibility has been proven to be an effective supply chain strategy that enables timely and effective responses to demand uncertainties. This talk aims to shed light on how process flexibility can mitigate supply chain uncertainties.
We will talk about methodologies for analyzing the resilience of a supply network and discuss its applications in designing a more resilient supply chain. By leveraging process flexibility and resilience analysis, supply chain operators can enhance their ability to respond to unforeseen events and adapt to changing market conditions, ultimately improving the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations.
