Luck is when the risk does not manifest itself. Just as hope is not a strategy, luck is not a tactic manufacturers should rely on.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Year That Was<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/blog\/2021\/01\/2020-manufacturing-a-year-in-review\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2020 was a tough year<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As it ended there was hope that the world would return to normal for manufacturers. This hasn\u2019t happened as evidenced by disruptions from the storms in Texas, new COVID-19 shutdowns in France and the ship that blocked the Suez Canal. At the same time, with a huge sigh of relief, at least we can see the light at the end of the tunnel with respect to COVID-19 pandemic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what now? Most <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/blog\/2020\/04\/manufacturing-supply-chain-challenges-pandemic\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">manufacturers survived the pandemic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but does that mean our supply chains are healthy? To what extent is this just luck? While we want to move on and get back to business, 2020 did give us a gift in the form of a stress test to our supply chains. We can ignore it at our own peril, or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/blog\/2021\/04\/why-digital-manufacturing-is-even-more-important-after-the-pandemic\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">learn from it<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There are a few certainties. There will be more disruptions and they will not be the same as the last one. You can be lucky sometimes, but you can\u2019t be lucky all the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoiding Yesterday\u2019s Mistakes Tomorrow<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QAD Tomorrow is an online Thought Stream designed to help manufacturers understand supply chain challenges, root causes and <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/industry-best-practices\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best practices<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for overcoming them. When thinking about supply chains; efficiency, agility and resilience (how we respond to disruptions) are key factors. Many manufacturers, given their current processes, view these as trade-offs. By reimagining our processes and leveraging best practices, it is possible to increase efficiency, agility and resilience simultaneously. At the same, we can minimize the trade-offs as, when done correctly, they can reinforce each other. For example, take strategic sourcing. Engaging multiple suppliers through a scalable process can reduce costs through competition, increase agility allowing you to quickly shift demand to a supplier that meets your changing needs, and enhance resilience through multi-vendor sourcing to reduce single points of failure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In thinking about supply chains, it is easy to see the nodes (suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, etc.) while undervaluing the role of the connections between each and the regulatory differences from country to country the supply chain spans. Moving from transactional to strategic relationships, focusing on landed cost optimization by working closely with transportation partners and proactively addressing <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">duties, taxes, and compliance leveraging real-time updates and automation can have a profound impact on supply chain performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The traditional view of supply chains focuses on the mostly downward flow of materials. Concentrating on the information stream up and down the supply chain creates a rail on which to optimize your supply chain practices. Even the most efficient logistics are constrained by distance and the speed of a train, ship, truck or airplane. Information on the other hand can move at the speed of light. <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/solutions\/integrated-supplier-management\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Integrated Supplier Management<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> improves supplier collaboration and supply chain visibility allowing for faster response to changes in supply and demand.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;9410&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Welcome to QAD Tomorrow<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Join us on May 19th for <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/go.qad.com\/NA-US-Tomorrow2021.html\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>QAD Tomorrow<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to learn about today\u2019s supply chain challenges, root causes and the latest best practices for addressing and overcoming them.
