SUMMARY:Future Supply Chain Disruptions in 2022
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Patrick Penfield\, Professor of Supply Chain Practice\, Syracuse University \nWith its variants\, COVID-19 continues to impact different parts of the world at different times. Extreme weather events\, which have unleashed environmental catastrophes leading to loss of human lives\, continue to prevent areas around the world from producing and moving materials. Cybersecurity issues are disrupting systems and impacting supply chains while shutting down businesses. Geo-political issues could threaten our supply of energy and semi-conductor chips. The looming longshoreman potential strike could impact our already overwhelmed ports in California. And lastly\, the “bull whip effect” could cause inventory issues for companies in 2022. \nWhat supply chain disruptions should we expect in 2022? When will this global supply chain chaos end? Will we get back to normal? Get these questions answered by Dr. Patrick Penfield\, Professor of Supply Chain Practice at Syracuse University’s Whitman School of Management during this webinar. \nREGISTER HERE>> \n
