Michael Lucia is Benchmark's Sourcing Strategy Director and Supply Chain Architect, giving him a front row seat in recent disruptions and the challenges facing both OEM and EMS companies. In a recent article, Jennifer McAlpine talked to Michael about Design for Supply Chain. In this article I dig a little deeper into the trends driving supply chain and product design, as well as the changing geopolitical situation, reshoring and the shift from just-in-time to just-in-case.
Michael also shares some insight into the strategies and tools available around good design for supply chain and how closer, and earlier, collaboration is the key.
