Markets change. The challenge here lies in the speed of change.
After strong growth over the past years, global production networks are now facing new challenges. Unforeseeable events like the Coronavirus pandemic, emerging trade conflicts or fluctuating order numbers have far-reaching effects on production networks and supply chains. Uncertainties demand a synthesis of short-term action capabilities with consistent strategies. The challenge is to be able to respond proactively to change and to reach a level of agility and organizational structure for the affected areas just in time, as well as in identifying potential for process innovations and their short-term implementation. A consortial benchmarking with the objective of identifying, understanding and benefiting from successful and verified approaches for the further development of global production networks is carried out to meet and overcome these challenges.
The consortial benchmarking will begin in September 2020.
