Every year, the ManuTalk meetings bring together production practitioners from leading companies to discuss trends in industrial manufacturing. ManuTalk sheds light on the background topics of Industry 4.0 and shows how innovative technologies are constantly raising the benchmark for excellence. Dr.-Ing. Christoph Siegel, Managing Director and Wilhelm Schreiner, Partner of ConMoto, spoke about the end-to-end transformation of global supply chains and their key role in operational excellence.

The supply chains for key technologies – from raw material and material procurement through the various supply stages to the product and delivery to the customer – are becoming increasingly fragile. Against the backdrop of this development, Siegel presented the design of end-to-end processes in order development that improve risk management and stabilize supply chains. These end-to-end processes are interlinked with the company’s short and medium-term planning processes. This creates a paradigm shift in the overall organization that integrates the functions involved and optimizes performance throughout the company.
