The cover story, Making in America, delves into the factors
compelling manufacturers to transfer operations away from
“low-cost” regions in Asia to in-country/for country production,
the challenges they are facing, and how the maker movement may save
the day for multinationals struggling to remain competitive.
Also featured is an exclusive interview with Johannes Giloth,
senior vice president, global operations and chief procurement
officer for Nokia, a company that pre-emptively orchestrated its
own disruption over the past several years and has emerged stronger
than ever. Giloth offers a compelling look into Nokia’s fundamental
transformation and the strategic role supply chain and operations
played in this remarkable journey.
“In most other contexts, disruption is considered a negative
force. But in the tech sector, disruption equals progress,” said
Wade McDaniel, vice president of Supply Chain Solutions, Avnet
Velocity and publisher of Supply Chain Navigator. “Members of the
supply chain are fighting both global economic headwinds and an
existential conflict between established strategies and emerging
requirements. With the diverse array of creative initiatives
presented within this issue, we hope to give readers some practical
insight into the art and science of disruptive innovation.”
