Smart Service Webinar Series : Additive Manufacturing for service spares
For many reasons supply chains are under pressure today. Availability of equipment and parts is impacting the performance of a growing number of companies. Managing a supply chain means today a differentiator instead of a hygiene factor. How to increase your service levels without additional stock? Implementing additive manufacturing to supply parts requires a perspective on both service and manufacturing. Is it possible to deliver short term results to support the changes needed and convince your management about the potential?
Having a new look at how to position additive manufacturing within (service) operations to become a strategic lever for growth is the main topic in this webinar. You will learn this based on pragmatic results and learnings from companies which have gone through a complete journey.
