It is a significant challenge to manufacture and ship products at a quick pace while maintaining impeccable quality. Deloitte’s recent supply chain research highlights that 80% of surveyed manufacturing executives have experienced a “heavy” to “very heavy” impact of disruption on their supply chains over the past 12 to 18 months.
Seventy-two percent of surveyed executives believe the persistent shortage of critical materials and the ongoing supply chain disruptions present the biggest uncertainty. Managing fluctuating product lines and shifting supply chains increases your complexity – making it difficult to maintain speed while balancing product quality.
