This webinar will examine both by looking at how manufacturers can utilize a number of tools to better manage logistics, respond to distribution changes and mitigate supply chain risks.
It will also provide expert commentary on a number of large-scale supply chain solutions for U.S. manufacturers. These range from improved transportation portals to the need for developing a long-range, comprehensive national manufacturing strategy and how to work with all public and private stakeholders as the U.S. looks to improve its infrastructure and stay globally competitive.
