Pirate or Privateer? Using Additive Manufacture to Resolve Supply ChainChallenges

SPEAKERS

Len Pannett Consultant, DiManEx BV

ABOUT THE SESSION

Len Pannett, Consultant at DiManEx BV, is all set to share his insights on how additive manufacturing (AM) can be a powerful solution to modern supply chain challenges. Drawing from his extensive experience in operational transformation, he will explore whether organizations are navigating disruptive changes as “pirates” reacting in crisis, or “privateers” with a strategic approach. 

He will share his views on how modern supply chains are constantly challenged to balance cost, resilience, and sustainability—often compromising one to prioritize another. With the rise of digital manufacturing, particularly additive manufacturing (3D printing), businesses can now reduce costs while boosting both agility and environmental performance. This transformative shift enables the move toward digital inventories and agile make-to-order models. Through real-world examples, he will illustrate how additive manufacturing can solve critical supply chain issues and outline actionable steps for organizations to begin this journey toward smarter, more resilient operations.

Key Topics-

1. Supply chains are universally having to balance cost, resilience and sustainability, often sacrificing one for the sake of the others.
 

2. The onset of innovation in digital manufacturing, particularly additive manufacture (aka 3D printing), is now enabling it to reduce supply chain costs while simultaneously increasing resilience and sustainability, leading to a digital inventory and achieving agile make-to-order.
 

3. Illustrated with contemporary examples, this talk will look at how additive manufacturing can be leveraged to overcome many of the challenges that are affecting supply chains today, and how to take the first steps on that journey.
