About

When supply disruptions hit the news, the time to proactively respond is over. You are on the defensive and your mitigation options - extending time to impact by buying more inventory OR qualifying alternatives, are executed under duress and with no leverage. You pay what you must to secure components and your internal resources from engineering and operations are scrambling with you.

Whether it is the MLCC shortages, DRAM shock, COVID-era bottlenecks and even 2018 MLCC crisis, many global shortages don't always happen overnight; many of the recent shortages in the last 10 years were building up silently across the supply networks for weeks or months, they were just not visible enough for the broader market to perceive the underlying threat. By the time traditional alerts go off, your lead times have blown out, margins are destroyed, and emergency spot-buys are your only option. It's like the news – simply reporting what has already happened. The Point of Recognition is too late.

Shifting the Point of Recognition left is the only way out of this cycle. That's what Predictive Supply Risk Intelligence (PSRI) does — 70+ real-time signals across supply, demand, and capacity, surfacing structural pressure up to 90 days before it ever makes the news.

Join Varun Narayanan for an exclusive look into Predictive Supply Risk Intelligence (PSRI) a solution that helps you drive process changes to respond to supply risk sooner, just like the check engine light of your car does.

Reclaim up to 90 days or greater runway. Protect your revenue and margins before they're negotiated away under duress. This is how procurement stops reacting to the market and starts operating ahead of it.

Agenda

  • 1 The Hidden Signals of Volatility: How to read the 70+ early Market Pressure indicators long before they trigger headline shortages.
  • 2 Ending the Spot-Buy Trap: Practical strategies to transition your team from reactive firefighting to proactive market positioning 60-90 days ahead of the curve.
