If global manufacturers learned anything from 2020 it was that disruption is the new normal. Some change we saw coming – things like changing customer preferences, the increasing call to produce sustainable products, a growing skills gap on the shop floor – and some changes were unforeseen, like the COVID-19 pandemic disrupting supply chains. Whether planned or unplanned, change was relentless. Supply chains went from shutting down, to reopening, to operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Employees adjusted to working remotely and companies found out just how adaptable they were.
Maybe the question isn’t, “Will there be disruption this year?” But rather “Are you prepared?”
