Webinar: Mastering Collaboration for Resilient Supply Chains

Supply chains have seen a great deal of volatility over recent years, with disruption caused by trade wars, cyber security issues and extreme weather.

Throughout 2025, the need for supply chain resilience has never been more overt, with businesses recognising where their supply chains are tripping them up and what they need to implement in order to stay afloat.

Now, businesses understand the need to implement supply chain resilience throughout their entire end-to-end strategy in order to ensure they do not fail at the last hurdle.

Building resilience

During an upcoming webinar hosted by PTC, industry leaders from PTC, Fictiv and Product Realization Group (PRG) will explore how industry leaders are navigating supplier networks in an increasingly complex supply chain landscape. 

As regulation demands increase alongside fragmented data systems and changing trade routes, ensuring controlled and streamlined operations can feel impossible. With ongoing pressure to maintain end-to-end transparency and demonstrate sustainability initiatives, leaders are changing their strategies and altering how they present them to their clients.

The most successful companies have seen the benefit of strong supplier relationships, transparency across the networks and the implementation of automated systems.

The webinar will welcome supply chain and manufacturing leaders who are looking to gain keen insights into how to build supply chain resilience by nurturing their relationships and developing multi-supplier collaboration. It will explore how leading manufacturers are building stronger supplier networks through a collaborative effort, using automated engineering changes, traceability and real-time supplier performance. 

Attendees will learn how to:

• Improve collaboration with contract manufacturers (CMs) and joint development manufacturers (JDMs)
• Enforce compliance and traceability across their suppliers
• Accelerate new product introduction (NPI) cycles
• Proactively manage risk

Mastering Multi-Supplier Collaboration for a More Resilient Supply Chain will take place on Wednesday, 18 March at 2:00pm GMT.
