Traditionally, supply chains focused on cost efficiency and Just-in-Time (JIT) optimization, viewing logistics as a linear waste-reduction process. As we enter 2026, the focus has shifted to operational resilience and strategic decoupling.
Today’s supply chains have become AI-driven ecosystems, shaped by structural volatility from geopolitical fragmentation and the urgent shift to Net-Zero.
To manage this, modern networks use Near-shoring and Digital Twins to simulate real-time disruptions. To close the productivity gap, organizations must combine frontline tacit knowledge with predictive analytics. In this era, resilience—not just low cost—is the key competitive advantage.
