Tariff Resistant Supply Chain

Today's ever-changing and uncertain tariffs have the potential to disrupt your product supply chain. Supply chains are quite dynamic and nothing is "tariff proof." However, a carefully considered supply chain strategy using a tariff resistant approach can minimize the undesirable impact caused by fluctuations and uncertainty. Join us for a dynamic and interactive panel discussion led by two long-time supply chain and tariff experts, Shirish Joshi, Ron Keith, and Wayne Miller.

At this session we will cover:

• How a tariff resistant strategy can be beneficial
• Risk mitigation in a complex global environment
• “Hidden costs” associated with offshoring
• The difference between "price" and "cost"
• Tips for protecting intellectual property

Increase your knowledge of supply chain, and gain new power to get your product to market on schedule. Learn how a strong strategy can help you leverage an alternative sourcing network.

• Help you collaborate with new design or manufacturing partners; Assess duties and classification decisions;
• Deal with political instability, currency fluctuation, and circus-style politics;
• Manage risk for lead times, obsolescence, environmental compliance, natural disasters, and gray market issues.

Speakers (fireside chat format):

• Shirish Joshi, Supply Chain Practice Lead, PRG & Founder, Amphion Solutions
• Ron Keith, Founder & Exec. Director, Supply Chain Resources Group
• Wayne Miller, Former VP HW Engineering & Mfg. Ops. at Bossa Nova Robotics
