Building the Future Faster: How Supply Chains Are Being Transformed by Advanced Manufacturing, Digital Twins, AI, and Automation

Modern supply chains are being reshaped by rapid advances in advanced manufacturing, automation, additive manufacturing, AI-enabled engineering, and digitally connected operations. Industries such as aerospace and defense are pushing the boundaries of speed, agility, and resiliency to dramatically compress traditional product development and production timelines.

Organizations are increasingly focused on building secure, resilient, “Made in the USA” supply chains capable of supporting national security, critical infrastructure, and advanced industrial innovation in an increasingly volatile global environment. This session will provide a behind-the-scenes look at how emerging aerospace and advanced manufacturing organizations are leveraging Industry 4.0 and emerging Industry 5.0 technologies to accelerate innovation, strengthen domestic manufacturing capabilities, improve operational responsiveness, and create more agile and resilient supply chain ecosystems.

This webinar provides knowledge regarding the many benefits that come with being a part of the ISM community. Join us and learn about the essential tools, vibrant community, and exceptional learning that enhances your professional development. You'll also gain insight into the array of programs, services, and resources that are available to you through your membership.

Change is constant, but knowing that doesn’t necessarily make us better at dealing with it. What happens when priorities shift, resources get tighter, someone with years of knowledge walks out the door, a supplier falls through, or the plan you started with simply doesn’t work anymore? Building on our April conversation about resilience, this session takes the next step. We’ll look at what happens when organizations get so focused on solving what’s happening right now that they don’t stop long enough to ask what could happen next, where they may be vulnerable, or what they could do now to give themselves more options later.

This will be a conversation, not a lecture. Through real examples, scenarios, and questions for the room, we’ll look at how we make decisions when things change and where we may have become too dependent on one person, one process, one supplier, or one way of doing things. We can’t predict or prepare for everything, and that isn’t the goal. The goal is to get better at seeing problems earlier, asking better questions before something becomes urgent, and building organizations that can keep moving when the plan changes.
