What many are experiencing right now
Launches are under pressure from several sides
Supply bottlenecks in materials and equipment, shortened product life cycles and suppliers affected by the crisis often come together at the same time.
Read the full thought
Supply bottlenecks in materials and equipment procurement, shortened product life cycles or suppliers affected by the crisis: many industries are now facing major challenges when it comes to qualifying and industrializing production processes and products in a way that is neutral in terms of error costs, meets milestones and conforms to requirements.
Successful and foresighted launch management is indispensable for controlling and securing these three dimensions of success. Here, the focus is not only on process reliability, but also on a wealth of experience and a pragmatic willingness to make decisions.
