Using GenAI to achieve operational excellence
The boom in Generative AI is creating new opportunities for aerospace and defence sector manufacturers. Used correctly, GenAI capability can help to optimise production processes, improve supply chain resilience, ringfence knowledge and reduce costs.
Digital supply chain collaboration is a new deterrent
Ongoing instability has brought pressures for defence industry manufacturers, requiring greater focus on supply chain resilience. Working collaboratively helps to mitigate supply chain risks, while creating a stronger national deterrent.
Fracturing supply chains: where will it end?
It seems that examples of supply chain disruption are all around. What started out as a symptom of the post-Covid ramp-up is now part of the new order, but what is causing all this disruption and will it ever end?
