Fireside Chat: Orchestrating supply chain operations through centralised control tower platforms
With the lack of visibility both within and outside of the supply chain network, every supply chain executive is thinking of transforming its supply chain. Maria Villablanca talks with the CPO of Navistar about how they navigated these challenges during Covid and got ahead of their peers by innovating on many fronts. Maria explores how Navistar combined the innovation in people, process, and technology by using Digital Twin enabled Supply Chain Control Towers.
