The MAA is joining forces with Made Smarter's Digital Supply Chain Hub to host this Future of Supply Chain Lab at the National Automotive Innovation Centre at the University of Warwick. The lab will bring together a small group of manufacturers from the aerospace sector to explore the potential of data and digital technologies to increase competitiveness and develop smarter supply chains.
What are the benefits?
The lab will provide you with a creative space to explore and learn new ideas and digital technologies which can directly improve your supply chains; and to design, test and experiment with new approaches; outside of your day-to-day environment. Come and hear from leading technologists and other experts who are building innovative solutions using technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain.
Future of Supply Chain Labs will provide you with ideas and approaches to:
- Improve forecasting and demand management
- Improve visibility and security of real-time data, tracking and traceability
- Manage disruption and the impact on lead times
- Measure carbon footprint, scope 3 emissions and reduce energy use.
- Improve stock control, reduce waste and manage materials price volatility
- Improve after sales service and customer satisfaction
There will also be plenty of time for building new connections and networking with peers. Participants will also receive fully funded access to a Digital Supply Chain Readiness diagnostic and 1-2-1 support to develop their action plan and identify funding to test and implement innovative solutions.
