Overview: Supply chain will be king!
Our monthly Supply Chain Updates provide critical information for production, purchasing and logistics professionals on industry developments in the current crisis, and strategic insight to help companies prepare for restart and transform their operations.
The global automotive supply chain remains highly disrupted, with risks across vehicle demand, liquidity and the supplier network.
