04: Agile und robuste Supply Chain – Volatilität im Wirtschaftsleben erfolgreich managen
Produktionsnetzwerke agieren heute global und sind abhängig von weiteren Netzwerken und Firmen weltweit. Neben den positiven Auswirkungen der Globalisierung werden Unternehmen jedoch auch anfällig für Zwischenfälle wie die Finanzkrise, den nuklearen Zwischenfall in Fukushima oder politische Konflikte wie in der Ukraine. Dadurch wird die steigende Volatilität der Absatzmärkte als einer der Megatrends bezeichnet, welchen sich die Industrie stellen muss. Agile und robuste Wertschöpfungsketten können als Essenz des strategischen Managements der Zukunft gesehen werden.
