Mitigating Supply Chain Risk through Bold Leadership, Transparency and Procurement
For example, in many organizations, different business units buy similar products from multiple
suppliers instead of buying everything from one supplier and benefiting from economies of scale.
Procurement can see that, but the rest of the organization can't.
In the Vacuum Workshop
In the semiconductor industry, cleanliness and precision are absolutely critical. Swiss vacuum specialist VAT therefore partnered up with maxon to develop a drive system for wafer processing.
50 Ways to Impact Your Business with AI
