Warehouses are an essential part of running efficient supply chains, providing us with a decoupling point between the customer orders and distribution or manufacturing.
Warehouses have become critical to responding to disruptions. We have witnessed many companies investing in additional warehouse space and warehouse automation to cope with the challenges brought about by the pandemic and Brexit.
This webinar will:
- Discuss recent challenges in managing supply chains and ensuring flow of products and services
- Reflect on various impacts that are driving/changing the warehousing landscape and operations, such as Covid, Brexit, sustainability, market, and technology changes
- Provide a practitioner perspective on the role and significance of warehouse operations and how they respond to disruptions using technological advancements
