Don't Wait for Humanoids: Insights from Bosch's Supply Chain VP

The Automated Future of BOSCH's Supply Chain with Dr. Arne Flemming (Robert Bosch GmbH)

Dr. Arne Flemming - Senior vice president, supply chain management, Robert Bosch GmbH

Supply chain management at Bosch combines purchasing and logistics. Close collaboration between these two functions and our partners from manufacturing allows us to shape the supply chain to the benefit of Bosch. Doing so reveals tremendous potential to leverage synergies and save costs. Cross-functional, open, and trusting cooperation – especially between associates and executives with responsibility for the supply chain – is something I see as a critical factor in successfully seizing this potential.“
