Registered Practitioners & Associates across all four streams are invited to attend a roundtable discussion on supply chain resiliency. According to the APICS Dictionary, resiliency in the supply chain is defined as:
The ability to return to a position of equilibrium after experiencing an event that causes operational results to deviate from expectations. Resiliency is increased by strategically increasing the number of response options and/or decreasing the time to execute those options. Resiliency is improved by risk monitoring and control.
Registrants outside NSW will be able to live stream and add inputs to the discussions; including polling for opinions and points of view.
