Industry 4.0 creates a “force” to make companies to rethink the way they manage their supply chain. In this presentation, Professor Tang shall examine the following questions: How should companies leverage various evolving technologies (Additive Manufacturing, Advanced Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Autonomous Vehicles, Blockchain, Drones, Internet of Things, etc.) to improve their supply chain competitiveness? What kind of value (economic, social and environmental) can these technologies bring? What are the potential pitfalls? Register HERE DOJ/Company Events: Hyundai/Genesis DOJ - March 6th

Register HERE Shout Outs/Announcements: Caselet Writing w/ Professor Karmarkar Prof. Karmarkar is looking to form a small group of students [2-3] to put together short cases on important current topics. One of the problems faced all the time in teaching is that the HBS cases are often too old and too late, and also not oriented to some of the key issues of interest in our classes. For example, the best Amazon case he can find is at 2016, the best Google case is 2014, the Disney case is 1995. Now professors try to bring these up to date, but that is just in the class discussion! Since this is a pilot with SOMA, he is thinking of producing possibly 2-3 caselets and is super flexible with timing. If you are interested, contact gabriela.gonzalez.2020@anderson.ucla.edu!
