Innovation holds the key to success but some innovations are too expensive to put into production. Manufacturers are trying new manufacturing processes to get a competitive edge\, but without detailed cost and carbon footprint analysis of these new processes\, time could be lost experimenting.

How should companies address the challenge?\nThursday\, June 15\, 2023  |  10:00 AM EDT\nThe automotive industry is going through the most significant transformation since it emerged some 150 years ago. Perhaps more than the pace of change\, however\, are the uncertainty and volatility that are shaking many industry norms and practices. While the path ahead is increasingly unclear\, one thing is very clear: business as usual is not a viable strategy. The industry is beset by both profound transformational trends impacting its business model (known as CASE) as well as unforeseen market disruptions occurring faster and more frequently. However\, every change also brings opportunities that\, If properly addressed\, can drive differentiating capabilities and enhance stakeholder value creation. \nIn this webinar\, we will discuss some of these industry challenges and opportunities and specific actions that companies can take now in order to gain a longer-term competitive advantage. Discussion topics will include: \n\nHow can you leverage key technologies to build a more agile business to respond quickly to disruptions?\nHow can you leverage technology to capitalize on internal and external data for insightful business decisions?\nHow can companies deploy AI/ML for defined use cases in planning and operations to increase operational efficiency and supply chain resilience\, reduce risk\, and improve quality?\n\nModerator/Host: \n\nEdgar Faler\, Senior Industry Analyst\, Center for Automotive Research\n\nPanelists: \n\nPeter Maithel\, Industry Principal Sales Director for Automotive\, Infor\nHenning Dransfeld\, Director of Industry & Solution Strategy\, Infor URL:https://www.cargroup.org/event/car-infor-webinar/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:CAR Event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230608T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230608T113000 DTSTAMP:20250304T075404 CREATED:20230518T220922Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230518T220922Z UID:51345-1686211200-1686223800@www.cargroup.org SUMMARY:SEMI Midwest Chapter’s Breakfast Forum DESCRIPTION:Join us for the inaugural SEMI Midwest Chapter Forum—\nWhat’s Going on in the Semiconductor Industry in the Midwest?\nThe CHIPS Act helps the U.S. regain semiconductor manufacturing leadership.
