Handling supply chain disruption has become increasingly important in recent times. Major recent risks such as the oil crash and COVID-19, have not only caused major disruption across oil and gas, utilities and manufacturing sectors, but also have ramped up the need to nearshore, especially in the manufacturing sector. Is this the end of offshoring, as more businesses adopt nearshoring sourcing principles?
During this webinar, first aired in August 2020, we take a look at how some of these companies have implemented nearshoring as well offshoring in their businesses as well as the main challenges and opportunities that supplier diversification brings to companies operating in these sectors.
