Modern technologies, dynamic markets, multifunctional teams, and hybrid projects have increased the degree of complexity while reducing the personal control by distributing power horizontally. Managers facing more complexity and lesser control must be able to influence without authority and succeed without having the other party to feel the loss.

The Manufacturing Strategy of today is integral to the Product Supply Strategy and the demand-driven Value Network. Manufacturing transformation is being driven by the supply chain strategy and no longer an insular function in the business. Manufacturing’s future puts it in the core of innovation, operations excellence, financial performance, and growth strategies. This means new performance metrics, partnerships, and a different set of skills and priorities. The burning platform is that without agile, predictable, and reliable manufacturing capabilities, the value network must hold safety buffers to meet and deliver customer service level commitments. This costs money and detracts from the core competitive advantage that can be achieved from demand –driven strategies. This paper will look at specific research-based best practices, trends, key priorities, learning’s, and projects that business leaders are using to transform manufacturing to help achieve business value from the transformed supply chain. The paper will pragmatically explore the theme that manufacturing is integral to the supply chain that is the business. Roddy Martin, Senior Vice President Supply Chain, AMR Research 12:00 – 1:00 pm
“Sustainability at Interface: Creating a Sustainable Supply Chain” Making our products in a way that considers their long-term impact on the environment is at the core of every business decision we make. At Interface, sustainability isn't just lip service; it is woven into all of the processes that bring our products to market - from research and development, to design and manufacturing, and even distribution and marketing. We continually explore more sustainable ways to make products that take less from the earth's natural resources and have minimal impact on the environment throughout their lifecyle. Since the vast majority of our end products' impact on the environment occurs before our raw materials arrive at our receiving dock, it is critical that our supply chain is actively engaged with us on our jouney to Mission Zero: Our promise to eliminate any negative impact our companies may have on the environment by the year 2020. For Interface, this means partnering with our suppliers to develop innovative technologies and processes which enable us to become less dependent on non-renewable resources, reduce our carbon footprint, and create new products that are fully recyclable.
