About this Webinar

As a smaller manufacturer, you continue to be more vulnerable to global supply chain disruptions than larger companies. Having to pay for more materials, parts or shipping is a difficult dynamic as you may not be able to absorb short-term losses or even a lower margin. But cost becomes less important if you can't deliver a product, and as uncertainty has been magnified, it is now essential for you to manage risk in order to be responsive to customers. In this webinar, you will learn how to mitigate the business risks of today's disruptions while building a more resilient supply chain.
