Lessons in Resilience – technology can help plan for disruption

Every day Australian manufacturers face numerous challenges from economic ups and downs, changes in consumer demand, and technology shifts.

A company’s technology choice is one of the key insurances manufacturers can take out against such disruptions, according to Director – Solution Engineers, ANZ at Epicor Ian MacDonald, one of four leaders taking part in our upcoming webinar – Lessons in Resilience (sign up to join the discussion here).

A flexible enterprise resource planning technology backbone allows manufacturer to scenario plan, to ask ‘what if’, to test their ability to pass the challenges.

MacDonald said: “For a company operating across different sites with different costs, for instance, you can model how much will a product cost to make at this site compared to that.

“There is a lot to consider, a lot of variables – it is not an easy question.”
