Post-pandemic production networks
The Key Insights of the Meeting:
- Long-term and collaborative supplier relationships are 10 times less likely to fail than new suppliers in the event of supply difficulties, as was the case during the pandemic.
- Avoid bullwhip effects: Through early communication in the event of foreseeable delivery problems or production stoppages.
- Companies can produce closer to the market by bringing up to 1/3 of their production processes back to Germany with consistent automation and digitalization.
We would like to thank all participants who enriched the GPC meeting with their contributions and we are looking forward to our next meeting on February 22nd and 23rd in Aachen!
The Global Production Community (GPC)
Participants of the community are enabled to critically analyze their own activities regarding the design of their network and to continue the development of their own abilities. The visits to the community partners during the networking events allow insights into various types of successfully designed global production networks. In effect, a non-competitive and confidential competence network is and will be developed systematically, allowing for intensive knowledge exchange with companies in other industry sectors.
