Opportunity: Education Session: Supply chain strain causes business interruption

Contract manufacturers saw firsthand and up close what supply chain and logistic disruptions look like, many for the first time, during the course of the pandemic. With the continued challenges of inflation, tightening logistics and ingredient shortages, having the right relationships is key to surviving and even thriving when the next inevitable disruption hits. All sides of the contract manufacturing partnership need to do their due diligence when it comes to relationship-building. That means asking the right questions of prospective customers or manufacturers, and focusing on transparent communications among the parties.

This session will cover:

• Strategies for dealing with current challenges like scarcity of labor and raw material substitutions
• How the offshoring of the industry during the last 40 years has manifest itself today in stressful ways, and the potential of altering the future trajectory
• Logistical challenges, current transportation and delivery trends, and solutions to shipping stressors going forward
