“Industry leaders are adopting end-to-end (E2E) agile resiliency, a new supply chain design that embraces the best attributes of supply chain agility and resiliency readiness”

And while many long for a period of stability and recovery, experts warn that supply chain challenges and uncertainties continue well into the future.
