  Designing Flexible and Agile Supply Chains Using Industrial Engineering Methods
  Author(s): Livio Noemi*
  
  In today’s fast-paced and dynamic global economy, supply chains face increasingly complex challenges. Companies need to navigate fluctuating consumer demand, raw material shortages, supply disruptions and rapidly evolving technologies. To address these challenges, businesses are focusing on designing flexible and agile supply chains. One effective way to build such systems is through the application of industrial engineering methods. Industrial engineering focuses on optimizing complex systems, integrating people, processes, technology and materials, making it particularly suited for designing supply chains that can quickly adapt to changing conditions. Flexibility in supply chains is the ability to adapt to unexpected changes. An agile supply chain, on the other hand, can respond rapidly to changes in the market, such as shifts in demand or disruptions in supply. These qualitie.. Read More»
