Smart, sustainable, affordable - can supply chains have it all?
It’s the ultimate quest for modern businesses - how to reduce environmental impact, remain competitive and align to customer values that increasingly drive buying decisions. But how much do we really understand about what it takes to bring us products and services? And how can businesses meet our demands without it costing the Earth?
These were the many themes discussed at the recent WMG Alumni webinar, from why supply chains are something we should all care about, to why businesses cutting waste is key, and how advances in technology could be supply chains’ missing link.
The webinar was hosted by WMG’s Head of Business Innovation, Supply Chain and Trade Group (Education) and Warwick alumna, Dr Rebecca Wilde, (PhD Economics, 2021; MSc Economics, 2009).
Joining the panel of industry experts included:
- Dr Ahmed Tarek El-Said, Course Director of MSc Supply Chain and Logistics Management at WMG.
- Clara Chan, WMG Industrial Fellow, Chief Executive Officer of the Lee Kee Group.
- Michelle Wang, (MSc e-Business Management, 2005), Global Head of SCM Sourcing, Contracting and Partner Management at Hitachi Energy.
