The Supply Chain of Tomorrow, by Jean-Pascal Tricoire
Supply chains are in the spotlight. Following the crisis, there is speculation on how they will adapt in the future. In recent years, with efficiency as a constant driver, we have been experiencing a transformation defined by four key trends: digitization, sustainability, customization, and regionalization. It was these trends that underpinned Schneider’s Supply Chain Strategy Tailored, Sustainable, Connected 4.0, implemented four years ago. Today, resilience is at the top of everyone’s agenda – but what does it mean for supply chains?
