SUMMARY:MOC: 2024 Supply Chain Council Northwest Wisconsin - Chippewa Falls\, WI
DESCRIPTION:Manufacturing and supply chain management professionals face issues like: post-pandemic work adjustments; challenging global demographics; geopolitical tensions; increased pace and magnitude of disruptions; inflation; C-suite attention to supply chains; environmental pressures (including energy); cyber-security threats; grid capacity challenges; advancing technology; and federal investments in manufacturing and supply chains. \nWisconsin stands to gain in this emerging environment – the base exists and we rank highly in manufacturing employment. To enhance companies in Wisconsin and to grow the supply base\, regional Manufacturing and Supply Chain Councils have been formed through WCMP to discuss periodically how they are approaching any of these topics of interest. \nFor more information\, click here.
