Instead of worrying about things that they can't directly control, manufacturers must address what’s happening on the factory floor.

The operational challenges that manufacturers face today, including rising raw-material costs, energy price hikes and competition from low-cost imports, has them asking: How can we stay competitive under these conditions? 

Once the facilities are up and running, they are expected to boost Infinera's domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity by 10 times.

Amazon's SMRs will be able to generate around 320 megawatts of capacity in the initial stages, with the option to increase that total to 960 megawatts.

While many recognize the need to upskill and reskill supply chain planners, most aren't placing enough emphasis on building planners’ confidence and giving them the space to innovate.

Wolfspeed bills itself as the world's leading manufacturer for silicon carbide computer chips, a material that makes semiconductors more energy-efficient and durable.

Most manufacturers believe they're prepared for supply chain disruptions because they have contingency plans in place. In reality, those plans are often fragmented and short-term in focus.

Adoption of artificial intelligence and other innovative technologies is still at a rudimentary stage for most companies, said speakers at DPW Amsterdam.

The current conundrum of supply chain planning is rooted in the tremendous complexity of end-to-end supply chain data.
