MEMBER PROGRAMME

The consortium covers the ten future digital supply chain scenarios developed by the IfM. These scenarios were designed with insight from a range of multinational companies concerning their latest experiences of the impact of digitalisation on global manufacturing and supply networks. Our future digital supply chain scenario diagrams outline these ten scenarios.
