Renesas Electronics America, IHS, Cisco, Rockwell Automation and EBN to Discuss Navigating the Changing Supply Chain Paradigm

March 20, 2012

SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 20, 2012 - As the electronics industry has experienced recently, the supply chain is more than just a "chain." It’s a complex web encompassing suppliers, OEMs and customers, and when disaster strikes, the impact touches all aspects of the supply chain ecosystem. The traditional just-in-time manufacturing approach is no longer sufficient for business continuity. The supply chain must be strong yet agile in the face of unexpected situations. Where is that balance of not too much, not too little, but "just right"?

A panel of electronics industry specialists will be discussing this question at DESIGN West, Tuesday, March 27, 2012 at 3:30 p.m. in the DESIGN West theater. Bolaji Ojo, EBN Magazine editor in chief, moderates a panel including representatives from Renesas Electronics America, IHS, Cisco and Rockwell Automation to discuss the challenges facing the electronics industry, different approaches to supply chain management and steps needed to achieve the paradigm shift.
