The Pop in My Job:

There never have been better times for a supply chain transformation in the chemical industry. Everyone up to the supervisory boards reads in the daily newspaper about the importance of supply chain management. And there have never been harder times for such a transformation, because ongoing disruptions are pushing operational supply chain at its limit. This is a great challenge for every leader that is embracing changes!
