During the September 9^th AIAG Supply Chain + International Trade Summit, Dave Leich, GM’s executive director, global supply chain, spoke candidly about the challenges of the past 18 months.

“There has been unprecedented volatility and uncertainty across the supply chain,” he said, “including a world pandemic, semiconductor crisis, raw material shortages, shipping delays, natural disaster events, and drastic swings in automotive demand.”

Join AIAG and Jeffrey Peterson, Director of Global Trade and Logistics Cl for Tenneco, Inc. for this October 14^th FAE event as we explore, “Careers in Supply Chain Regulatory Compliance.”

The global supply chain, where goods are shipped all over the world, is already stretched thin thanks to a year and a half of operating during a pandemic. It really doesn’t need hackers mucking things up further.

Never before have the complexities and the crucial role of supply chains been so clear to the public. Issues related to supply and demand of certain products have highlighted the need for greater visibility into inventories and movement through distribution. But that is not the only issue on people's minds.

Along with our annual Quality Summit and IMDS & Product Chemical Compliance Conference next month, we've added two new webinars to the lineup: an October 14th FAE event exploring "Careers in Supply Chain Regulatory Compliance," and a climate-focused webinar on the 26th, detailing "RE100, EP100, and SteelZero Initiatives."
