EMERGING SUPPLY CHAIN RISK TRENDS FOR 2022 & HOW TO ADAPT Speaker: Jim Yarbrough, Global Intelligence Director, BSI


A review of five key topics and emerging trends from BSI’s new global intelligence annual report, with specific emphasis on the convergence of security, sustainability, and business continuity supply chain challenges. Areas of discussion will include:


TECHNOLOGY & DIGITISATION – THE FUTURE OF PORT SECURITY


Speaker: Erwin Rademaker, Program Manager, Port of Rotterdam


As one of the leading ports in the world, with the ambition to be the smartest port, Rotterdam is taking the lead in the digital transformation of port and logistics. The Port of Rotterdam Authority and market players are experimenting with taking the operation of the port to an even higher level through digitisation. Part of this experiment is the development of Container 42. The container is equipped with sensors and communication technology, and it will travel around the world for two years to collect data that had until now been invisible. Vibrations, pitch, position, noise, air pollution, humidity and temperature are among the things that will be recorded.


Digitisation contributes to the ambition to make autonomous sailing possible within the port of Rotterdam by 2030. Container 42 symbolises (semi) autonomous ships that, in the near future, need all kinds of new, hyper-secure and accurate information in order to perform their (semi) autonomous tasks in a safe and reliable manner. Standardisation also plays a crucial role. By using global, open standards, it is easy for all links in the chain to connect and therefore make maximum use of the real-time data available.


TAPA EMEA has invited Erwin Rademaker to provide an update on the Container 42 project and how it will also support supply chain security for goods shipped through the Port of Rotterdam.


• Against a backdrop of irreversible climate change and economic uncertainty, what do we really need to know about our suppliers?


• As regulatory regimes evolve, how do we ensure we make the supply chain decisions that can shape business success and a cleaner, greener planet?


• How do we best address the key geographic and sector pain points in a changed and changing world?


• How do we adapt to the current convergence of multiple business challenges?


• What are the key emerging trends for 2022 and beyond and how do we unlock the potential they offer?

SESSION 4: RESILIENCE IN FUTURE GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS


Speaker: Adrian Viellechner, Operations Consultant, McKinsey & Company


Today, we face an increasing supply chain risk from more frequently occurring shocks and more vulnerability, causing significant economic damage. Building resilience in global supply chains is key to decrease supply chain risk, resulting in lower cost, reduced lead times, and unlocked cash-flow. What does this mean for the future?
